Spitz GTX Pro II Jacket
A mountaineering shell that turns Haglöfs’ Spitz heritage into a harder-wearing alpine tool.
Story & heritage
The Spitz GTX Pro II Jacket sits at the top of Haglöfs’ mountaineering shell language: the brand calls the Spitz GTX Pro II its pinnacle mountaineering jacket for extreme conditions and its updated SPITZ GTX PRO collection “iconic”.
Its role is precise rather than decorative: a climbing-harness-friendly fit, durable reinforcements and storm protection for moving on rock, ice and exposed mountain routes.
Materials & craft
Haglöfs specifies a 3-layer GORE-TEX PRO ePE laminate, durable reinforcements at the shoulders and hips, a brushed-tricot collar and long two-way underarm ventilation zips.
The official Spitz story explains the newer jacket’s move from 40 to 70 denier body yarn to raise abrasion resistance while keeping the shell focused on weatherproofness and freedom of movement.
How to choose & style
Choose it as the hard-shell layer in a technical kit: over a fleece or active-insulation midlayer, with alpine trousers, gloves and a pack that will test the reinforced zones.
Black reads like a minimal mountain shell; high-contrast colours make more sense when visibility matters.
