Hardshell jacket Salewa Puez Aqua 4 PTX 2.5L — black, size 48 (M)

Salewa Puez Aqua 4 PTX 2.5L — black, size 48 (M) is a waterproof hardshell jacket designed for protection from rain and wind in outdoor activities and everyday use. The jacket uses a 2.5-layer PTX membrane that provides water resistance while keeping the garment lightweight and packable. Its clean, functional design and articulated cut allow comfortable movement during hiking, commuting or travel, and the black colour offers a versatile look for multiple situations.

Advantages

The 2.5-layer PTX membrane combines weather protection with reduced weight and improved packability compared with heavier multi-layer shells. Breathable construction helps manage body moisture during activity, while taped seams and a waterproof front zip increase overall water resistance. Adjustable hood and hem provide a customizable fit that keeps out wind and rain. The simple exterior minimizes bulk, making the jacket easy to stow in a backpack or luggage.
