Mountaineering Club Apparel and Tech Layers

Mountaineering club apparel sits one step technical from a casual hiking club. Members hike longer, ascend further, deal with bigger weather swings, and care more about layering. Our catalog has the same tech tees, wicking long sleeves, performance quarter-zips, and beanies that an alpine program needs, all with your custom club logo at no-minimum per-piece pricing.

Mountaineering apparel essentials

• Wicking long sleeve (Sport-Tek, $29.88): base layer and sun shirt all in one
• Performance quarter-zip (Sport-Tek, $29.88): mid-layer for cool altitude
• Cuffed winter beanie (embroidered, $25.86): summit-day hat
• Triblend tee (Next Level, $24.88): post-climb town wear
• Performance training shorts ($44.88): warm-weather approach
• Cropped or zip hoodie: layering when temps drop

What we do not stock: full alpine shells, hard goods, technical climbing gear. Apparel and layering pieces only.

Design conventions for mountaineering clubs

Mountaineering club designs tend more technical than hiking club designs. Common elements:

• A specific named peak (Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, Denali, Sierra ridgelines)
• Elevation in feet on the design (Summit 14,259)
• Compass rose, topo line, or contour aesthetic
• Year established and chapter abbreviation

Two-color printing on triblend or tech fabric is the standard.

Pricing math for a mountaineering chapter

Sample 40-member alpine chapter:

Item	Buyers	Profit/unit	Total
Wicking long sleeve	28	$12	$336
Quarter-zip	20	$18	$360
Beanie	30	$12	$360
Triblend tee	32	$13	$416
Annual total			$1,472

Mountaineering members buy more layers per person than casual hiking members, so revenue per active member runs higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell hard shells or rain gear?

No. Apparel and athletic layers only. Hard shells and technical alpine gear are not in our catalog.

Are the wicking tees rated for cold weather?

Sport-Tek tech fabric works as a base layer. For deep cold you would layer over with mid-weight pieces (quarter-zip, hoodie) and your own shell.

Can I order custom expedition apparel for a specific trip?

Yes. Add a trip-specific design as a separate product. Members order in advance of the trip.

Will the print hold up to altitude UV?

Yes, our print process is rated for athletic use. No different than gym apparel.
