I got into skinning during COVID too. My first one was up Buttermilk in Aspen on my third day at 9K ft and it was not pretty — I cried a lot. But it’s SO much fun. Def type A fun. Would love to see your touring apparel setup.
One thing my husband and I love are Sprints hats which are moisture wicking quick dry hats designed for runners but are excellent hats on a sunny day skinning when a beanie is too much!
The "I cried a lot" really hits!!!!! Great tip re: Sprints, def need to get one to try! I'm still trying to nail sweat management in the backcountry/skinning – it's so hard to strike the perfect layering balance. Something I need to talk about in the letter!

Yes. My husband sweats a bit more than I do and he’s always looking for the perfect windbreaker. He loves the half zip from Cotopaxi.
Having just uphilled I am going to say the trend is me 😉
You are the trend, it's you!! I love it.
