In what can be described as an exercise in opposites, finding the right gear for touring requires pieces that work for going up and going down, that are easily taken on and off and can handle rain or snow.
Pieces that retain warmth or stay cool; stand alone and work in combination.
Another beautiful blue planet, brittle, fissured.
Dry warmth that compresses, stills wind and matches the intensity of the environment, the undertaking.

Be resourceful, be prepared.
