Teton Bros. Layering Concepts for Climbing and Mountain Running
In this column, we'll introduce some layering ideas from Teton Bros. for climbing and mountain running.
What constitutes "comfort" varies from person to person depending on the season, mountain range, sweat level, etc. Learn about the role of each layer and the functions of each product, and enjoy your activities with the optimal layering for you.
<Climbing> Teton Bros.'s Layering Philosophy
The best seasons for climbing are spring and autumn, avoiding the hot summer. When attempting a route or problem, you'll want to wear light clothing that won't restrict your movement, but also bring an extra layer of warmth and wind protection.

Block the wind
Even if the area around the installation is calm, the higher the altitude, the more susceptible it is to the effects of wind.
Especially on multi-pitch climbs, a lightweight, durable, packable wind shell can be useful to hook onto the gear rack of your harness. 
[INSULATION] When belaying or taking a break
Climbing is at its best during the cooler months when your hands don't get sweaty.
A lightweight down jacket that can be quickly slipped on over a T-shirt is perfect for before or after a try, or when belaying a teammate.

Does not impair upper body movement
When you're pushing yourself to the limits of your ability, even a T-shirt next to your skin can be a nuisance. That's where stretchy short-sleeved shirts come in. A synthetic material that won't cool you down even when you sweat and is resistant to friction with the rocks is best.

Durability
The most important thing about climbing pants is that they follow the movement of your legs.
We recommend tough pants that will not cause any stress even when you raise your legs up to your waist, and will not tear even when you plunge knee-deep into a wide crack.
<Mountain Running> Teton Bros. Layering Concept
Once you experience the thrill of running through the fields, you'll never be able to escape. It's not about competing with others or racing against time, it's about simply enjoying the undulating trails.
Therefore, we propose it as "mountain running."
For the spring and summer season, Teton Bros. is also focusing on improving its mountain running category.
The required functions are slightly different from those for mountain climbing, so product development needs to be tailored to mountain running.

Take thorough measures against rain
If you are caught in heavy rain while running in the mountains, a rain shell will give you great peace of mind.
Extremely lightweight and allowing for unrestricted twisting movements, the Tsurugi Lite Jacket is a favorite among many mountain runners.

[WIND SHELL]
A versatile lightweight windproof shell
Teton Bros.'s popular classic, the WIND RIVER HOODY, is a multi-functional item for running.
It blocks wind, repels light rain, is breathable and stretchy, and packs down small enough to fit in a pants pocket.

Effectively manages sweat
The ELV1000 series has a water-repellent finish on the fabric itself, so the fibers do not absorb large amounts of sweat.
Wearing a base layer that can handle heavy sweat is actually more comfortable than running barefoot.

Pocket capacity is also important
These pants have back pockets that allow you to store things you need while running, such as snacks, a smartphone, and a wind shell, without getting in the way of your run.They are a very convenient item, as you don't have to carry a running pack.
