Clothing Review Index

In the Sierra's mostly-dry climate, I almost never wear a shell. For that reason, I love the ultralight Triumph Anorak, or even an Ether windshirt, which I carry as insurance. Alpine skiing picks are the Genesis, the Apex Bionic, and the Venture Jackets. For fleece the Miwok is light, warm and comfortable; the windproof R4 is my choice for Alpine skiing. The 11-ounce Marmot PreCip is my do-it-all hardshell pant. Don't forget to check out the SmartWool Microweight Crew for a base layer.
