I'm about to reintroduce myself to climbing after a wee sebattical, and given the frosty weather I need to upgrade my hold ridden, month eaten, broken sip and generally rooted softshell.
I was contemplating a synthetic downies as an alternative. Is it a genuine alternative? Thoughts? Specific product below.
The pros:
- lighter
- warmer
- smaller compress ie hang it on the harness during a pitch but be toasty on the belay
The cons:
- not durability ie will you leave it behind in a crack if climbing in it?
- not as weather resistant.
