Ortovox Trad Plus Softshell Jacket - Men

A few pitches into a long route, your jacket has already rubbed against the rock, your pack straps and your harness. That's where the Trad Plus makes sense to us. It protects the places that take the most abuse, moves easily when you're reaching for a hold and feels comfortable during the approach.

Consider Another Option If

You need a waterproof jacket for sustained rain or prefer a much lighter wind layer for occasional use.
