RESCUE 2.5L PTX SHELL JACKET

Designed as a lighter, durable, packable outer layer for 3-season mountain rescue use, the *Rescue 2.5L PTX Shell Jacket offers waterproof, windproof and lightweight weather protection for rescue operations and alpine climbing and mountaineering. It was developed together with the Tyrol and South Tyrol Mountain Rescue teams. Made of our proprietary 2.5 layer Powertex weather protection fabric with CORDURA® it offers the right combination of performance, weight and durability. CORDURA® yarns in the outer layer ensure improved abrasion-resistance in wide alpine cracks or chimneys. A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish coats the shell (water column: 10,000 mm). During intense activities, the breathable membrane transports vapour to the outside, maintaining a comfortable wear climate. With a helmet-compatible storm hood (its gusset construction keeps it neat and compact when closed, yet larger with 10% more volume and freedom of movement when open) plus high, integrated collar and single rear-hand adjustment, ergonomic sleeves and free motion patterning for freedom of movement and zero hem lift on exposed faces. Its spacious chest pocket provides plenty of storage room for smaller tools. A full-length internal wind baffle behind the zip and elasticated cuffs and hem all help to block out cold gusts. It also packs down small in its own compression pouch. All pockets are positioned for easy access when wearing a harness or backpack.
