mountain equipment guide glove

Written on Jan 24, 2017

quite a nice pair of medium weight WP all-around alpine gloves. good fit, nicely constructed and of decent materials and features. not too bulky and fairly good dexterity. i'd recommend that if you fall at the cutoff between sizes, i'd definitely recommend upsizing , esp if one has long fingers.

Rab Inferno Shield Hoodie

Written on Oct 24, 2015

I'm using the Inferno Shield hooded parka as a belay jacket and find it even warmer than I'd expected for it's 80/60 g insulation weight , most likely due to the additional wind resistance of the Pertex Shield breathable waterproof shell. The fit is accurate and generously cut tho one must consider that Rab uses Euro/Unisex sizing. By upsizing one size I cam comfortably wear a medium-heavy down jacket beneath it without compressing the loft in the body or arms. I've previously owned Rab rainwear with Pertex Shield and have found it very durable and yet highly compressible & light in weight unlike most Goretex and eVent shell parkas that I've used. This is definitely the nicest, most practical and effective belay jacket I've ever used, especially in soggy wet-cold conditions hovering at the freezing point- highly recommended!

alpinist's classic parka

Written on May 05, 2014

sizing is UK ,therefore if one normally wears a US Medium, one should upsize to a UK Large for general use.As a belay jacket,one may opt to upsize by 2. The arms are generously log as appropriate for a climbing/mountaineering parka where one regularly reaches overhead. the fit is well considered with the back extending well over the buttocks.The Rab Neutrino Endurance provides an extra measure
