What to Wear Splitboarding in the Backcountry β€” Men's Guide

Skinning up an untracked alpine ridge before dawn on a backcountry splitboarding tour surrounds you with glowing mountain summits, powdery snowpacks, and crisp alpine air. Riders climb steep switchbacks on touring skins, transition splitboard halves into snowboards on windy saddles, and drop into deep untouched powder bowls. The necessary dress code is modular high-output mountain touring performance: breathable waterproof hardshell jackets, ventilated stretch softshell pants, lightweight thermal base layers, and compact packable puffy coats. Because climbing uphill generates intense body heat while riding downhill exposes you to freezing wind, quick-venting modular garments are essential. From setting kick turns up steep icy skin tracks to surfing waist-deep alpine powder through pine glades, here is your definitive backcountry splitboarding guide.

What to Wear to an Ice Climbing Clinic β€” Men's Complete Guide

Standing at the base of a frozen blue alpine waterfall for a technical ice climbing and glacier mountaineering clinic immerses you in cascading ice chips, howling canyon winds, and sub-zero cold. Climbers kick steel crampon front points into vertical frozen pillars, swing curved ice tool picks, and belay partners from hanging ice screws. The necessary dress code is extreme-weather alpine performance: three-layer Gore-Tex waterproof hardshells, breathable fleece or synthetic midlayers, heavy thermal merino base layers, and rigid mountaineering boots. Because swinging ice axes overhead in sub-freezing spray demands total shoulder mobility without letting snow penetrate your waistband, articulated waterproof technical layers are vital. From high-stepping on tiny frozen ice ledges to belaying motionless in sub-zero canyon drafts, here is your definitive men's ice climbing style guide.
