We’ve teamed up with our lovely friends at Black Diamond to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a Factor jacket and bib pant, as well as a pair of Spark gloves, worth £1,150. This is a stonking prize, and we’re only saying that because we’ve spent a good amount of time skiing in this outfit and it’s fantastic.
The Factor shell jacket and bib pant – available in men’s and women’s versions are new for this season. The soft feel keeps them quiet (no nasty crinkling noises), yet the fabric proves seriously tough, and the in-built stretch and wool blend backer only add to the freedom you feel when in the mountains.
Using Black Diamond’s BD.Dry membrane, this waterproof/breathable 30k/30k membrane keeps the weather out, and allows moisture from the inside to escape. We’ve done some serious ascents in the Factor suit, and it has never once let us down.
The cut and dynamic range the outfit offers is brilliant, and there are plenty of pockets, with each one being well thought out and in the right place. The padded transceiver pocket on the thigh is a great idea, to keep digital devices separate from your transceiver and to add some protection.
Black Diamond are also throwing in a pair of their excellent Spark gloves. With a waterproof/breathable BD.Dry membrane, a full goat leather outer with palm reinforcement, padded protection on the rear, and PrimaLoft Gold insulation, your hands feel like they’re getting the special treatment. A superb glove for any adventure.
