Salewa Puez Altavia Polarlite hooded fleece-jack heren Pond Blue

On a crisp morning in the Dolomites, a trekker zips up the Salewa Puez Altavia Polarlite Hooded Jacket and sets off along a rocky ridge. The Polarlite fleece traps warmth while the Durastretch inserts move with every step, and the tailored hood stays snug against the wind. This men's fleece jacket is built for high-output hiking and trekking in cool conditions, balancing insulation, breathability, and abrasion resistance.

Why choose it

The Puez Altavia combines the warmth of a technical fleece with the durability of stretch woven panels. Polarlite provides efficient insulation and dries quickly, while Durastretch reinforces high-wear zones like shoulders and sides. The athletic fit reduces bulk under a shell, and the hood fits comfortably over a beanie or under a helmet. PFC-free DWR and bluesign® certified fabrics reflect Salewa's commitment to sustainability without compromising performance.

Ideal use cases

• Fastpacking and multi-day trekking in alpine environments
• Cool-weather hiking as a midlayer or standalone jacket
• Climbing approaches and via ferrata where stretch and abrasion resistance matter
