Climbing apparel

Rock climbing pants, climbing T-shirts and climbing shorts: how to choose your climbing outfit?

To enjoy rock climbing fully, just like for any other sport, it is best to have the appropriate outfit. In this particular case, for rock climbing, it is a matter of adapting your outfit to an activity where you realise moves requiring flexibility and the use of numerous muscles. Therefore, this activity requires perfect freedom of movement, which should be preserved thanks to lightweight, breathable and stretch clothing. Another important criterion is resistance. If you climb indoors, and deal with particularly abrasive artificial walls, you then need tear-resistant clothing to protect your skin. The T-shirt can be long-sleeved too, to better cover and protect the skin, just like you can prefer pants for the same reason. Coming back from a rock climbing session with irritated or scratched skin never feels good, especially when showering.
