I wear it as my outer layer when I’m moving at a moderate pace and I’m happy to have it as insulation under a hard or soft shell on cold climbing days. It’s comfort through the range of temperatures is remarkable. Peter Doucette: Ascendant Hoody, “I’ve been practically living in my Ascendent jacket this fall and winter. I rarely leave home without these in my layering system! Throw them on over a pair of long underwear, top it off with the cirque pant and you’re ready for the coldest of ice climbing days. The Uberlayer is a jacket that I wear every time I go climbing climbing and just hanging out.”Īlexa Siegel: Radiant Tights, “The Radiant tights are the perfect mid weight layer to keep your legs and the rest of you warm. Matt McCormick: Ascendant Hoody & Uberlayer Jacket, “The Ascendant Hoody is a great active insulation piece which breathes well and also keeps you warm while belaying.
I used both the jacket and pants exclusively on my recent ice climbing trip to the Canadian Rockies and stayed so comfortable.”
Get one!”īryan Gilmore: AlpineIce Jacket & Pants, ” My favorite piece (or pieces) is the Alpenice Pants and Jacket this stuff rules for cold days ice climbing.
