Comfort and function first
Every detail exists because someone on the ropes asked for it. No marketing fluff, just the things that make a 10-hour shift at height less punishing.
Weather that stays outside
ULTIMATE shells are rated 20,000 mm waterproof with 15,000 g breathability. A double storm flap covers the front zip and the chest pockets drain rainwater out on their own.
Helmet-ready hood
The removable hood adjusts in length and width with room for a helmet underneath. A fleece-lined collar, chin guard and neck warmer keep the wind off your neck.
Breakaway D-rings
Four front D-rings carry your tools and radio, and release at a load of 5 kg. If something snags on structure, it lets go before it pulls on you.
Made for gloved hands
Specially developed pull tabs on the pockets and extended zip pulls on the vents work with gloves on. Inner cuffs with thumbholes keep the sleeves in place when you reach.
Reinforced wear zones
Shoulders, elbows, forearms, seat, crotch and knees are reinforced where ropes, bags, steel and rooftops do their damage first.
Ventilation where heat builds
Zips on both shoulders and openings on both sides of the back let heat out on the climb. The trousers vent at the calves or the backs of the thighs.
Fit that adapts
Removable Y-shaped braces, an adjustable waist, a raised back and a stretch crotch panel keep the trousers secure under the harness. On PERFORMANCE and DARK trousers, open the hem with a small cutter for up to 6 cm of extra leg length. Every pair has elasticated hooks that clip to your laces, so the legs stay on your boots.
Tool pockets that stay shut
Removable tool pockets have neoprene retaining cuffs and safety press studs, so contents stay in and nothing opens by accident. Zipped ankle pockets sit where you can reach them in a harness.
Zip-together system
A connecting zip keeps the jacket and trousers overlapped when the harness pulls them in opposite directions, reducing drafts and exposed skin. Jackets and trousers across the range zip together.
