GIRLS GEAR: Clothing and equipment for the ladies

Universal Infusion Jacket The Universal choice for girls who don’t mess around…on the mountain that is. Waterproof, breathable and seam-sealed, the burliness of this three-layer Gore-tex XCR piece is hidden within a surprisingly soft fabric. 13 mm skinny tape reinforces a bomber seal with no extra weight, while key abrasion points ensure a long service life. Rappelling or searching for chapstick, you’ll appreciate the high front pockets and adjustable drop hood. And when the skies unleash, a drawcorded collar and waist work to fight off the weather. The Universal Infusion Jacket, part of The North Face’s top of line Summit Series, is a solid partner in any condition.

Recog Pant
If you want to narrow your soft-goods quiver down to one pair of pants, consider the Recog. Waterproof and breathable thanks to TNF’s patented HyVent technology, the Recog is a versatile choice for girls who spend long days on the hill. Light insulation allows minimal base layering, while a Park Fit offers freestyle freedom that looks as good as it feels. At less than $200, the Recog Pants are an easy choice.
MSRP: $179

When the digits plummet and a shell won’t cut it, reach for the Puff Rider. If you overheat in down, you’ll love the Puff Rider’s lightweight layer of Thermolite insulation. As a soft shell it provides enough breathability for a Headwall bootpack, while waterproof hard-shell protects the shoulders, arms, hip and butt against an unexpected Teton squall. A feminine contoured fit and quilted construction minimize bulk without losing warmth. Bells and whistles include a removable, helmet-compatible hood, a bottom drawcord and insulated handwarmer pockets. The jacket’s smooth-as-silk liner will be your new favorite pillow.
MSRP: $220

These high performance, soft-shell pants charge as hard as you do. Made from snow-shedding stretch-woven polyester, these breathable bottoms provide heavy-duty service in a super lightweight package. Patagonia’s Composite Seam System construction rids the bulk of stitched seams, meaning the pants will pack nicely in the fullest of packs. A textured, poly-mesh interior wicks away moisture. And for the hydrated girl on the go, the Bombay Fly (compatible with the R1 SuperFly Pants) makes for quick, discreet squat stops.
MSRP: $235
