A couple of weeks ago UKC/H were out in Germany at the huge tradeshow of ISPO in Munich. We dropped in to as many outdoor brands as possible to check out their newest and hottest kit.
In this report we look at some awesome new mountain clothing - from shell jackets and pants through to insulation pieces. If you want to stay dry, warm and look good then this is the report for you. The report is lots of videos and a few photos too.
