hi I am new to this forum and new to climbing so I apologise for the novice questions.
I am currently buying gear to get set up to do some mountain climbing. I am about to buy both a belay parka and a hard shell jacket. Both are on sale at a good price. My question is with regards to sizing. Am I right to assume you will never be wearing both these jackets at the same time. eg the belay parka up high in cold weather and the hardshell in heavy rain where its a bit warmer. Therefore the hardshell will not need to be sized to fit over the belay parker and I could just go for a large with both?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
