In the exposed terrain of the high mountains, one learns to appreciate high-quality clothing especially. There, winter is not "just" cold but potentially deadly cold. At a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 60 km/h, the skin can cool down to -30 degrees Celsius - leading to frostbite in a short period of time (wind chill factor according to the International Society of Biometeorology). The body's own thermoregulation significantly influences performance, so even after several hours of mountain marching, a bivouac must be dug and the mission must continue. It all starts with the underwear ... We took a look at the Carinthia G-LOFT Ultra Shirt & Pants for you. Men in black ... the set is also available in olive. With a stand-up collar and tight sleeves, everything fits well. That's G-LOFT ULTRA on the man, shirt and pants as a warming suit: Techno-Strech-Fleece inserts on the back ensure moisture transport when the shirt is worn as a baselayer.

Additional ventilation in the armpit area due to mesh inserts in the Techno-Strech-Fleece insert, so that sweat can evaporate during physical exertion.

Techno-Strech-Fleece inserts interrupt the G-LOFT insulation layer, the jacket maintains its close-fitting cut and sits comfortably on the skin as well as on an additional layer (thin) of underwear. G-LOFT is Carinthia's proprietary fiber, you can find all information HERE.

Sealed zipper with underlying flap, requires patience when "threading" and unfortunately can only be operated in one direction.

The button on the pants with tab is large enough to be opened safely and quickly with gloves, the waist size can be adjusted with a drawstring.

Techno-Strech-Fleece inserts at the hips, knee joint area, and thighs ensure high mobility and remain close-fitting. The thin G-LOFT is divided into strip-shaped cells and retains its shape even with a lot of movement.

One big plus: The pack size. In case of emergency, the ULTRAs can be easily taken along. The set fits easily into a small backpack pocket 15 x 25 cm, unfortunately, no compression bag is included. In the official size table, the sleeve length is given as 69 - 70 cm, but here we measure a maximum of 60 cm!

CONCLUSION: The G-LOFT underwear proves to be efficiently warm, lightweight, breathable, and space-saving in the backpack, insulates even when wet and can be worn as outer sports clothing (jacket!) due to its wide range of uses. It warms the body and is flexible enough to be physically active. Worn under outer clothing, it becomes an efficient heat suit for people who are physically active outdoors in the cold season.

On the CARINTHIA website, you can find the G-LOFT Ultra Shirt for Euro 119,- and the G-LOFT ULTRA Pants for Euro 109,-. The set is available in black and olive.
