Clothing technology

        When looking for a clothing their are many things to look for.

• Waterproof: to call a product waterproof according to British standards it must have to be able survive the pressure from 1500 mm head of water, the pressure can be increased by sitting or kneeling and rucksacks for this reason we start with our lowest at 5000 mm for adults,  although we have materials as high as 20,000mm. This would be necessary if you intending to carry a heavy ruc-sack. I personally have a jacket that is only 8000 mm.
• Insulation: a few years ago puffa jackets were very popular but a jacket with normal amounts of insulation if it is cold are better  and layer with fleeces making jacket useful in all weathers.
• Pockets: make sure it has a lift pass pocket on the left side and a few large pockets for goggles etc.
• Snowskirt:  this is to stop the snow going up your back
• Vents: under arm vents can be very handy to be keep cool in spring.
• Reinforced areas: the most likely areas for this are on the inside area of a ski trouser and on the cuffs
