That´s why weight, in combination with functionality, always plays a major role. The lighter the style, the freer and more agile you can move. The more durable and dense it is, the more protection it offers.Warmth:- Down, synthetic fibers, wool - they are all tasked with storing heat and protecting against cold. The warming layer can vary in weight, breathability and packability. Exactly how warm depends on the intensity of the sport, the outside temperature and the space in your pack.Durability:- For your garment to last you a long time despite plenty of abrasion or rock contact, it has to be hard-wearing. Do you weigh every gram and define absolute freedom of movement as the most important characteristic? Then less abrasion-resistant, lighter clothing can be an advantage.Quick drying:- To prevent you from losing heat during a break at the summit, your clothing must wick sweat and moisture away from the skin and allow it to evaporate quickly. The more you sweat during an activity, the more important it is for it to dry quickly and have breathability.Specifications:- Main material: 58% Wool (Merino), 39% Polyamide, 3% Spandex- Weight: 75 gPerformance:- Breathability: 6/6- Lightweight: 6/6- Warmth: 6/6- Durability: 5/6- Quick drying: 4/6Activities:- Mountaineering: 6/6- Speed Mountaineering: 6/6 - Ski Touring: 6/6- Glacier Touring: 6/6Technology:Responsible wool: - To help ensure the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on, the wool in this product is sourced from farms exercising progressive land management practices with a holistic approach to animal welfare.
