Stretchability:
- Outdoor clothing must not be constricting. It must be elastic without losing its shape and should give you maximum freedom of movement. The more flexibility your activity requires, the more important stretchy material is.

Durability:
- For your garment to last you a long time despite plenty of abrasion or rock contact, it has to be hard-wearing. Then less abrasion-resistant, lighter clothing can be an advantage.

Windproofing:
- Windproof clothing keeps you from getting cold on breezy peaks or blustery trails and minimizes the wind chill effect, which is your body´s heat loss accelerated by wind. Pay special attention to this factor when your pace is high and conditions are cool and windy.

Breathability:
- Especially for fast-paced activities, you need breathable clothing that regulates your body temperature, wicks away sweat, allows air to pass through, and so keeps you comfortable.

Packability:
- On multi-day adventures or other activities with a lot of equipment, space in the backpack is at a premium. Similarly, for those aiming to travel fast and light, packability is essential. This factor may be less relevant if protection and durability are the top priorities.

Warmth:
- Down, synthetic fibers, wool they are all tasked with storing heat and protecting against cold. The warming layer can vary in weight, breathability and packability. Exactly how warm depends on the intensity of the sport, the outside temperature and the space in your pack.

Gore® Windstopper®:
- Textiles made with a Gore Windstopper membrane offer outstanding water-repellant properties, stay windproof and are highly breathable. Eliminating the wind chill effect improves the level of insulation.
