Bear Grips Pro ShopsMountaineering Club Apparel and Tech Layers
- Mountaineering and alpine clubs use tech tees, long sleeves, and quarter-zips.
- Sport-Tek wicking and Bella+Canvas triblend handle altitude and sweat.
- Sun hats and beanies for cold weather, no minimum on any piece.
- Custom logo and chapter design applied across the line.
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.

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.

Start FreeFrequently 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.
