In this class, you will learn:

• How to use 14ers.com to explore, analyze and choose a route.
• How to download routes from 14ers.com.
• How to upload routes into other apps.

Why does a Marmot Precip jacket costs $100 and an Arc'teryx Alpha SV jacket costs 900? They're both just rain jackets. Right?

Technical clothing is designed to keep you dry and comfortable and to protect you from the elements when exploring the outdoors. But understanding the concepts and the technology can be daunting. Your instructor, Bernard Tibbetts, will take the mystery out of shopping for outdoor technical clothing so that you can be confident in your purchases and save money to boot.

By applying what you learn in this class to future clothing and gear purchases, you will recoup your investment in this class many times over.

This class will teach you the following:

* Poor weather or just poor clothing choices?
* The layering principle.
* Evaluating clothing properties such as insulation, wicking, sun protection, breathability, water protection and wind protection.
* Understanding the various water proofing methods.
* How to prioritize your purchases and build your layers over time.
* When is cotton appropriate for the outdoors?

Your instructor, Bernard Tibbets, had been an outdoor leader and instructor for over a decade and is committed to empowering others to get outdoors and lead their own adventures.
