We choose the dressing in accordance with an environment we wish to climb. The weather in the open air is – in comparison to covered wall – often very unsettled , so it is better to take the dressing securing  warm (wool, fleece). We recommend you also to have the protection against windy and rainy weather. Today, there is a big choice of dressing in various sizes and  for all possible conditions.

You can use various sorts of outfit for  different climbing conditions. Cotton soaks in a sweat but get dry badly, it is not resistant enough and has no ability to keep the warm. It is suitable only, if you decide to climb along the covered wall.

On the other hand, nylon and polyester get dry quickly, are resistant, so they are suitable pro climbing in the open air. Lycra is the most flexible material. It does not limit the motion and stretches the body comfortably. Mostly it is combined with the other materials, as it is not resistant enough. Fleece is available in many executions but it can become gluish easily, especially at bigger effort or higher temperature.
