My Climbing & Mountaineering Gear List
Last Updated: May 2026
I’ve compiled my complete personal gear inventory here with photos and honest reviews based on real-world use. I check this list before every trip to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I’ve added my experiences, pros, cons, and tips — hopefully they’ll help you make better gear decisions.
Clothing System
I bought this 110-gram product from Decathlon thinking it would be useful for hygiene. My plan was to return to the tent at night, get into the sleeping bag without taking off my shoes, and rest quickly. In practice, things don’t work that way. First, when you return exhausted, you definitely want to take your shoes off to rest your swollen feet. Second, it’s rarely possible to spend the night in a sleeping bag with wet clothes. Since dry clothes are usually changed, the need for this liner becomes very low.
