1. The different types of mountaineering clothing
When it comes to mountaineering clothing, it's important to understand that there are several different types adapted to specific needs. These include high-mountain jackets, technical outfits and insulating garments such as high-mountain down jackets. Each type has its own characteristics that meet specific requirements.
High-mountain jackets: These jackets are designed to offer maximum protection against wind and moisture, while remaining breathable. They are often made from technical materials such as Gore-Tex, guaranteeing optimum waterproofing.
Down jackets: High-mountain down jackets provide warmth and lightness, ideal for cold conditions where body heat needs to be conserved without adding too much weight to your equipment.

2. How to choose your mountaineering clothing?
To select the right garment for your mountaineering adventures, several criteria need to be taken into account:
- Size and fit: Make sure that your garments allow good freedom of movement, yet are snug enough to avoid getting caught in the wind.
- Material: Opt for technical fabrics that offer breathability and weather resistance. Water-repellent treatments (DWR) can also improve garment performance in wet conditions.
- Layering: Consider layering several layers to adapt your garment to the climatic variations encountered on ascents.
3. Care and durability of mountaineering clothing
Proper care of your mountaineering down jackets, gore tex jackets and other equipment is crucial to their longevity:
- Washing: Always follow the manufacturer's washing instructions to avoid damage to the technical fabric.
- Drying: Avoid tumble-drying; prefer air-drying to preserve the integrity of the material.
- Detail regularly: Apply a water-repellent treatment after several washes if necessary to maintain their waterproof properties.
