When it comes to climbing clothes it is sometimes hard to distinguish between specific equipment and everyday clothes. The climbing specific clothes are adapted to the relevant outdoor / indoor conditions, meaning that very specific fabrics are used to protect and/or adapt to the elements, cuts are made in a certain way to provide good freedom of movement and in general these clothes are quiet comfortable to wear and made of an eco friendly material.
Firstly, you need to think of the purpose of your clothes. Someone buying a jacket to keep him/her warm between boulders in fontainebleau on fresher days does not require the same jacket as someone going on an alpine excursion in the high mountains. The materials and functionality can vary quiet a lot, do you want it to keep you warm or should it be breathable, should it be water resistant, comfort vs utility, are pockets important, how many layers will you wear and, and, and.. the list goes on. In order to be ready for most situations it can be useful to have a basic set of different clothes available and just combine them as needed.
In climbing we can still differentiate between bouldering clothes, sport climbing clothes and outdoor clothes (for alpine climbers/ice climbers). For the indoor climber, be it bouldering or sport climbing, the main criteria that should be met is excellent freedom of movement and good robust quality. When going outside, these previous points still need to be met, but also a good moisture management is needed, and depending on the conditions the clothes need to keep you warm or let you cool off. For alpine climbers the clothes have to meet a few more criteria in order to properly protect from the five elements. For via ferrata enthusiasts, specific gloves are also recommended to protect the hands on the wire cables and ladders.

Kids Clothing
<p>When it comes to climbing specific apparel for kids, not much differs compared to adult clothes. The designs, logos and prints may all be identical so the most important thing to look out for when buying your kid rock climbing clothes is that they are comfortable and breathable. You want you kid to be able to move freely and not have the clothes restricting the movements. </p> <p>Look for lightweight pants/shorts made from breathable materials such as cotton or linen, or lightweight stretch material. When bouldering, long pants are always recommended in case you need to knee bar sth.</p> <p>If you are climbing outdoors, consider wearing a long-sleeved shirt to protect your skin from the sun especially during the hot summer days in Fontainebleau. If however you decide to visit the Swiss bouldering paradise Magic Wood you might want to pack warmer clothes.</p>
