Need an advice before buying new gear- Pants and gloves
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 12:10 pm
Hello and thanks for dropping by
So i will be buying new gear in a short while. the next things on my list i need to purchase are pants combo and Goretex gloves.
i am curently interested in softshell and hardshell pants for a summer climbs up to 3500m in the alps
so i take it i need some good shoeller mountain pants and some light goretex pants as well right?
at the shops around where i live i found those :
Softshell

Hardshell
http://www.mammut.ch/en/productDetail/1 ... s-Men.html
*Dont have a whole lot of climbing strores around where i live so that is why i'm all Mammut*
Gloves
http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc- ... glove.html
anyone has some experience using those items?
do you think those are good options for me?
couple of things that botter me:
1.The Mammut Convey pants boast a GoreTex Paclite membrane which if im not mistaken allready been replaced by the Goretex Active membrane.
and by the way should i look for Goretex Pro shell or would it be an over kill for those kind of alltitutds and beginner level mountaineering?
2. I cant seem to find the TNF Triclimate gloves at the TNF website although Google search directs me to the website , does it means that this is a very old model or something?
