As temperatures rise, it's crucial to choose the right clothing for your summer activities. Whether you're hiking, trekking or climbing, the choice of materials is crucial. Breathable fabrics such as polyester or elastane are ideal, as they allow better air circulation while being lightweight and durable. For those who prefer comfort on the skin, virgin merino wool is an excellent option thanks to its antibacterial properties.
At Alpinstore, we offer a wide range of breathable summer jackets and outerwear. Don't forget that choosing the right accessories, such as hats and goggles, can also make all the difference to your summer outings.
Winter brings its own set of clothing challenges. Cold conditions call for appropriate clothing that guarantees warmth and protection from the elements. Softshell garments are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or climbing, offering protection against wind and light rain. If you're looking for technical yet simple clothing, opt for down jackets, and find our women's down jackets and men's down jackets on the site.
For skiers, it's essential to invest in specific outfits that ensure waterproofing and breathability. On Alpinstore, discover our selection dedicated to winter jackets.. And don't forget to check the waterproofness (at least 10,000 mm) and breathability (over 8,000 grs) ratings, so you can stay dry while efficiently wicking away perspiration.
Waterproofness is measured by the pressure exerted by a column of water before it penetrates the fabric (expressed in millimeters). The higher this measurement, the more resistant your garment will be to the elements. At the same time, it's important to consider breathability, which allows the body to evacuate perspiration without accumulating internal moisture.
RET (Resistance - Evaporation - Transmission) measurements are essential here; a RET below 6 indicates a highly breathable fabric, while a RET above 20 means not breathable.
To ensure a good balance between these two criteria when shopping at Alpinstore, don't hesitate to consult our leading brands such as Patagonia, Volcom or Picture.
The principle of the multi-layer system is to superimpose several layers adapted to the climatic conditions encountered during your sporting activities. The first layer must be functional, using synthetic or natural materials that allow good moisture transfer to the outside.
The second layer provides thermal insulation, while the third layer protects against the elements.
On Alpinstore, we have selected a range of products that perfectly meet the requirements of the multi-layer system, including well-known brands such as Patagonia,
