The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group protrude from the stony alpine plateau. Climbing here in the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites takes strong nerves – and strong material.
Our MERINO SHIELD TEC line was designed especially for such long, alpine routes. We use extremely scuff-resistant material for our PALA climbing PANTS for men. In the Martindale test for scuff resistance, the primary material was able to withstand over 50,000 abrasion cycles. In high-stress areas, we’ve used inserts that are even more robust (˃100,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test) to offer maximum protection from rugged rock faces. In addition, the MERINO SHIELD TEC line is made of polyamide and elastane on the outside and fine merino wool on the inside. This mix guarantees high breathability and will mirror all your movements on the rock face thanks to 4-WAY STRETCH material. The pants also impress with a waistband that is quick and easy to adjust.
With their extra reinforced knee area, the robust PALA climbing pants for men are made for use on rocks! The ergonomic cut and width-adjustable waistband ensure an optimum fit. Maximum freedom of movement is guaranteed thanks to the use of elastic materials. MERINO COOL AIR MESH in the waistband ensures ideal moisture wicking and high wear comfort. What’s more, these light climbing pants are fitted with a holder for your chalk bag, an elasticated band on the ankle cuffs and a total of three pockets including a map pocket.
