When it comes to climbing, your choice of clothing is just as important as your choice of equipment. A women's climbing t-shirt not only has to look good, it also has to be functional. Indeed, it must offer excellent breathability and optimal comfort during movement. Brands such as Ortovox, Devold and Odlo offer models specially designed to meet the needs of female climbers. Whether indoors or out, investing in a good t-shirt can make all the difference.
To make the best choice, it's essential to take several criteria into account. First and foremost, choose lightweight, technical fabrics that wick away perspiration and dry quickly. Avoid cotton garments, which don't regulate body temperature well and can cause discomfort during exercise. For summer or indoor sessions, opt for a short-sleeved model or even a tank top to keep cool while climbing.
In summer, choose T-shirts with good ventilation to avoid overheating. On the other hand, when climbing in cold or wintry conditions, it's crucial to select clothing that offers warmth and protection against the wind. In this particular case, a thermal t-shirt under a lightweight fleece can be ideal for keeping your body at the right temperature while allowing plenty of freedom of movement.
It's imperative to avoid waterproof clothing, which limits breathability and can cause unpleasant moisture build-up during physical exertion. What's more, even if cotton seems comfortable at first glance, it's not recommended as it retains moisture and can cause hypothermia during frequent climatic variations during your climbing sessions.
