Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and will be climbing Kili in two months and i've got a few questions / need some recommendations please.
Can anyone please recommend what brands / gear they prefer to use when climbing. I've read that the temperature at the summit is around 0 to -15 C and I will be traveling through 5 different climate zones.
These are my thoughts on clothing gear so far:
Boots - Vasque men's breeze GTX hiking boots
Heavy weight wool socks x3....brand?
liner socks 3 pairs - smooth thin wool or nylon (not sure if it really makes a different which I choose?)
briefs - underarmor
light weight long underwear + tops - Ice breaker 200s
Lightweight Trekking pants - REI Alpine Lake Rain Pants
Insulated synthetic pants.... brands?
Hard Shell Pants .... brands?
Soft Shell - Sandstone Soft Shell Jacket from First Ascent
Hard Shell Jacket with Hood .... brand?
***If I'm getting a soft and hard shell will I also need a down? If so, which would you recommend?***
Also Need recommendations for:
-Glacier Glasses
-Daybag
-Any other useful clothing wear that I should look into
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
