When you gotta climb 5.11 with a your insulated jacket either dangling from your harness, or actually on your body, you want the best “bang for your buck” in relation to weight to insulation… this is the jacket. Light, compressable, and way warm.

Patagonia M's R1 Granular Jacket

First to recommend

Description

The sweetest layer! Warm enough to not feel naked on the bivy ledge, yet, unzippable, sleeves roll up, and you’re sending 5.11 finger cracks in the sun! Zip up the hoodie in the full-on spindrift and you got a balaclava… versatile!

I launched 100 plus feet in these and only broke the plastic mounting plate. For the Expedition Backcountry there is no other more bomber, versatile, and light.

Smith Snow Goggles: Prodigy

First to recommend

Description

I think any Smith eyewear rules. Durable, scratch-free glass, and great tints that work in mixed light, like on a wall, as well as on a bright, steep snow slope. The Goggles stay moisture free, even while climbing, and give good vision, peripheral and forward, in a variety of light.

La Sportiva Katana Rock Shoes

2 people recommended this item

Description

The shoe to beat all shoes on steep, technical granite… or sandstone…or limestone. Its semi-rigid last and the fit to form leather make this thing perform at a high, high standard in a way wide array of terrain. Its lace-up cousin, Barracuda, is as good.
