Weight vs ‘The Look’

I used to think that I was a function rules fashion kind of guy. This year I experimented using a Mountain Hardware Kilt. While I liked the performance, each time I wore it there was internal struggle waging. I realized I like clothing does doesn't make me stand out, e.g. camouflage. So for me, performance rules, but when I go outside certain norms I get uncomfortable.

When I wear my MH kilt, I definitely have to be in the mood to be noticed. It is nice and breezy though.

I need to find one of those harnesses! I just got a pair of tie-dye lycra tights for my upcoming trip to josh!
The best part is that im 15!

"Wow. That's pretty special. And when I say special, I mean pink. LOL You don't still use that thing do you?"

Juston, it sat in a cupboard until a few years ago. My daughter started to get into climbing, so asked me if i wanted to climb with her one day. You should have seen her face when i dragged that beauty out of my sack at a busy crag! I've worn it once or twice when climbing with my son or daughter since. It's great seeing them trying to pretend they are not with me! :)

I have a more subdued harness if needed! :)

Hmmm, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Dirty Girl Gaiters yet (or have they? I'm too lazy to look again).

I probably get more comments on mine than on anything else I carry/wear. And I don't even have the really obnoxious… er… I mean fantastic ones.

Hi Mike

Thanks very much for the kind offer, but I should be able to manage …

It used more for canyoning than climbing these days

:-)

Cheers

I seriously need to get one of those harnesses!

my wife said we are all odd for choosing to sleep in dirt and hike in spider webs and poison ivy.

no matter how i'm dressed, i will still have fun. my favorite form ovr function event happened in highschool. it was a real cold evening at the football game. i was dressed for the conditions and was told by someone who i could hardly understand for all the shivering how stupid i looked. right.

Roger,
If you do please put on a shirt.
