Aug 30, 2021 · It’s not a conspiracy or crazy marketing scam on the part of other brands. You’ll find Simond gear to be on the whole bulkier (crampons), quicker to wear (dynamic rope sheath), heavy (carabiners, quickdraws, shoes), and hard to pack down small (down jackets).

I own the lighter version of this down jacket: the Simond Alpinism Light and am fumlly satisfied. A nice jacket for the backpack while skitouring, quite warm. In comparison to Cumulus down jacket, the workmanship is simpler (no dwr, Stitch-Through construction) but I fully trust this jacket.

Sep 23, 2020 · The payback for this has of course been cost--Triple Rated ropes have never been a cheap option, generally costing significantly more than one could buy an equivalent Single Rope for. Thus I was very interested to try the Simond Edge, a UIAA Triple-Rated Rope but at an approachable price.
