Choosing your mountaineering clothing: a good jacket above all

To prepare your mountaineering outfit, you first need a mountaineering jacket that says "I defy the storms." A mountaineering jacket is like armor against biting winds and unexpected precipitation. Look for ones with waterproof membranes, like Gore-Tex technology, to stay as dry as a fish out of water. Make sure it has windproof functionality, because it's mainly the wind that will chill you to the bone if it gets under your clothes. Finally, even purists can't hide their faces: style matters! Choose a mountaineering jacket that you like and that is visible. Visible = no white, even if it's elegant.

Cover your legs with technical mountaineering pants

What's more stylish than mountaineering pants that make you look like a mountain ninja? Opt for pants designed to withstand rock friction while giving you the agility worthy of a professional climber. You should feel comfortable in your movements, with a material that is stretchy but very durable and windproof. You also need your mountaineering pants to be waterproof, just like your jacket mentioned above. Gore-Tex technology is perfect for an alpine outing because it will allow moisture to escape without letting it enter your mountaineering pants.

Complete your mountaineering clothing with a good down jacket

In the Alps, the mountains are high. Very high. Which generally means they're cold. Very cold. That's where the mountaineering down jacket comes in. You probably won't wear it the entire time, unless you're conquering K2 in abominable conditions. But you'll be glad you took it with you and carried it in your backpack once you reach the summit. The goal of your down jacket? To be as light as a feather and as warm as a Saint Bernard's love! A well-chosen mountaineering down jacket should keep you very warm without weighing much and not hinder your mobility while you're wearing it.

Thermal underwear and mountaineering gloves: heat under control

Let's talk about those little details that make all the difference when the thermometer ventures into the negative. The secret to a well-experienced alpine outing is well-chosen thermal underwear. The best-kept secret of any mountaineer worthy of the name is to have taken the time to equip yourself with the right thermal underwear. Wrap yourself in soft layers of merino wool, guaranteeing warmth and moisture regulation. You can sweat, merino wool forgives you. In fact, it dries very quickly and does not retain odors. We assure you that this detail is a REAL plus when you spend 5 days in the heights and hygiene is a last priority.

Second essential point when choosing your mountaineering clothing: think about your fingers and invest in good mountaineering gloves! Let's not forget the toes either, thanks to good socks. It's not a myth that most mountaineers end up with missing fingers and toes. So take care to select technical mountaineering gloves, designed for the practice and resistant to water and wind. Primaloft insulation will keep your hands in "optimal comfort" mode.
