Climatic Jacket & Pants -Fabric Thickness-
It's thin enough that it doesn't take up much space in your backpack, even when you're not wearing a jacket. It's also durable, waterproof, and windproof, making it ideal for snowy mountain climbing.
Climatic Jacket
The pocket placement is great
During my guided tours, I almost always wear a harness, and the pockets are positioned and sized to be easy to use even when wearing a harness.
The inner mesh pocket is also essential. I keep lens wipes for sunglasses and other items on the right side and spare thin inner gloves on the left side. Even if my inner gloves get wet, the ones in the inner pocket are always dry and warmed by my body heat, making it quick and easy to change them.
I also like the exquisite cutting. When using the harness, there is no bulk or bulk around the stomach, and a slim silhouette is maintained. This means it is easy to see your feet and move around. Of course, the hood is also well thought out. It is not too deep, so you can wear a helmet.
Climatic Pants
The slim silhouette is great.
The pants are slim overall, especially from the knees to the shins. This allows for excellent leg movement. Crampons often catch the fabric around the calves and thighs. This happens even to professionals. However, thanks to this exquisite cut, I have never caught anything with these pants.
And one pocket. This is very important. Just like the jacket, it can be used without being hindered by wearing a harness. I always keep some candy in here (lol).
