Why Breathable Waterproof Material Is Crucial for High-Altitude Gear

Rugged enough to wear up in the mountains, the breathable waterproof material provides an awesome combination to a simple pair of garden shoes. It wicks moisture to keep you dry and comfortable when you are doing lots of physical activities. It is even more important in such high-altitude environments, where weather can change quickly.

High-altitude locations may experience random weather, including rain, snow, and strong winds. 

Which is why it’s helpful to have waterproof gear in order to avoid getting wet yourself. Getting wet in cold weather can make you sick, so make it a point to stay dry.

At high altitudes, your body may become sweaty and hot as you exercise. 

This is where the waterproof but breathable material comes in — it allows that heat and moisture to escape, so you don't find yourself too sweaty and clammy under your clothes. It helps regulate your body temperature and stops you from getting too warm.

The temperature can drop rapidly in the mountains. 

If you get wet in the cold you can catch hypothermia, which is a very serious illness. Waterproof clothing and gear also help keep you warm and dry, protecting you from becoming ill from the cold.

In breathable waterproof clothing, you can concentrate on your activity without being bogged down and distracted by soggy clothes. 

This helps you to be more efficient in those hard high-altitude conditions.
