Climbing clothes
Climbing clothing is essential to guarantee an optimal climbing experience, whether indoors or outdoors. They must combine comfort, safety and performance. In this article, we'll guide you through the criteria for selecting climbing clothing, so that you can make the best possible choice. Discover our men's climbing clothing and explore our wide range ofclimbing equipment.
Climbing clothing selection criteria
When choosing your climbing clothing, there are several criteria to take into account to ensure your comfort and performance. The materials used play a crucial role: opt for fabrics such as nylon or polyester, which offer durability and breathability. For changing weather conditions, opt for advanced technologies such as Gore-Tex or Polartec, which guarantee protection against moisture while allowing the skin to breathe.
The cut is also essential: it must fit snugly without restricting your movements. Look for models with crotch gussets and pre-shaped knees for maximum freedom when climbing. Finally, don't forget additional features like secure pockets or UV protection if you often climb outdoors.
Recommended types of clothing for climbing
Tops range from technical T-shirts for warm days to insulating jackets for cold weather. Make sure they are made of moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric. As for pants, they should offer flexibility and strength; look for those with adjustable waistbands and reinforcements in critical areas.
In the warmer months, consider shorts that meet the same criteria of comfort and durability. And don't forget that each piece should match your existing equipment, such as your harness or backpack.
Tips for choosing and maintaining your climbing clothing
Testing is essential before buying: simulate typical climbing movements to check the freedom of movement offered by the garment you've chosen. Don't forget to consult the manufacturer's care instructions, as this will extend the life of your technical equipment.
Investing in well-known brands may seem costly at first, but it often translates into greater durability over the long term - an important economic factor if you're a regular climber.
Leading brands in climbing clothing
To guarantee quality and performance during your climbing sessions, it's advisable to turn to certain well-known brands in this field. These include La Sportiva, known for its innovative products adapted to extreme conditions; Rab, specialized in technical equipment; and Icebreaker, famous for its natural fabrics that offer warmth while remaining breathable.
