Love at second sight: The Pedroc Pro Polartec Alpha® Jacket is made for those moments when the weather can not decide whether it is warm or cold and you are also on the move with high intensity. Constantly stopping and starting and waiting around, or on trails with low intensity. In the test, the jacket absolutely convinced the jury in such situations.
Targeted body mapping for the female anatomy, the highest wearing comfort, amplified by the thoughtful application of a windproof high density Nylon/Lyocell blend as well as stretch materials and lofted insulations. All these factors come together to make the Salewa jacket, which is intended for speed hiking, an indispensable part for every athletic mountain excursion between spring and fall.
Speed hiking means moving fast, but setting your own goals. The mountains become your open-air gym where you need lightweight, comfortable and protective equipment.
During intense, fast, start-stop activities it can be hard to maintain the right thermal balance, especially in changing weather conditions. The Pedroc Pro Polartec Alpha® Women’s Jacket is a hybrid, body mapped style that combines a lightweight, breathable perforated softshell fabric and mesh inserts – with Polartec® Alpha® Direct active insulation – inside at the front of the torso and upper arms. Alpha® Direct’s lofted insulation fibres regulate warmth and dry exceptionally fast. The engineered, athletic fit has reflective details for additional visibility at dawn and dusk.
On top of that, this is a Salewa Committed style made according to our additional eco and sustainability standards with a PFC-free DWR (durable water-repellent) finish.
This jacket has been built and designed accommodating women‘s unique shape considering not only technical specifics such as chest size and shorter torso lengths but also embracing every kind of shape and personality.
