  • Moderate conditions on its own

Not made for

  • Wind and rain on its own

For that, choose the Hochwilde.

Design notes

Forearms are where a fleece wears out first in a crack. The pads are there for that, and nowhere else, because reinforcement you do not need is weight you carry.

Four-way stretch keeps the fabric with the arms rather than against them, which is what you notice on steep rock.

The full-length zip is the difference from the Hochwilde: you can open it and keep moving instead of stopping to take a layer off.

Sourcing

Designed in the Italian Alps, in Ayas, Aosta Valley.

Questions

What is the difference between the Cortoz and the Hochwilde?

The Cortoz is a 380 g full-zip fleece with forearm reinforcement, for crack climbing and for venting on the move. The Hochwilde is a 340 g pullover: lighter and simpler.

Why does the Cortoz have forearm pads?

Crack climbing wears the forearms of a fleece first. On the Cortoz the pads take that abrasion.

Is the Cortoz made from recycled fabric?

Yes. The Cortoz uses 100% recycled polyester.

Does the Cortoz stop wind?

No. The Cortoz is a fleece. In wind or precipitation wear a shell over it.
