7:00 The alarm clock rings. After all kinds of onion layers made of merino, I put on the lightly lined and waterproof Sentinel dungarees in cyan blue with mint green zippers. The size S fits perfectly (I'm 1.68 tall and weigh 53 kg). They may be a little short for slightly taller women. The extremely supple and low-noise outer material, which is also called N80p-X GORE-TEX®, ensures perfect comfort. Thanks to the three-layer, low-pile softshell construction, the trousers fit smoothly and make a stable impression. For those who want to, there are belt loops for a better fit or a snappier look.
7:15 Now it's time for breakfast, where I can directly open the two zippers on the thighs, which allow easy side access and quick, effective ventilation. The generous, casual cut offers enough space for additional layers of warmth. Before we set off, we check the avalanche report and the weather. We are promised a dream day with a cloudless sky. The avalanche level is classified as low - perfect starting conditions for a beautiful ski tour.
8:00 The car is packed. The Scimitar jacket in Utility Green (which I also tested in size S) is still missing. I immediately notice that it is cut quite slim. The breathable and easily stowable jacket is made from GORE-TEX® Pro material. At 495 grams, it's lightweight, easy to stow away for long ascents and hopefully robust enough for many long descents and tours.
