adidas Climbing Gear

Look below to your previous goals with climbing gear that takes you to new summits. With styles that go beyond the mountain face, you can send your hardest climb yet, get a quick lift in and then celebrate with friends without skipping a beat. Graphic tees and sweatshirts light up the rock climbing collection to put your adventurous spirit on full display. Shorts provide ultimate flexibility for those days where you’re just hanging on for dear life, or those climbs where you’re (quite actually) hanging on for dear life. Rough and tough pants give you an edgy look when scraping up against rock or late-night crowds.

Functional outfits are only half the equation. Get a grip on your surroundings with shoes that work for you. Go for long climbs in flexible shoes with a neutral downturn, or challenge yourself with an aggressive downturn for when precision is everything. Get to the top in no time with wrap-around Stealth® C4 outsoles, and unpack your lunch from an ergonomic Terrex backpack.

Climbing Clothes & Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What clothes do mountain climbers wear?

Mountain climbers typically wear a well-fitting top, full-length pants and additional layers. A stretchy, breathable shirt or tank top with flexible, hard-wearing pants is a great base layer. An extra sweatshirt or insulated jacket is smart to have along because climbs can get chilly, especially as you cool down post-workout. A waterproof rain jacket is a good idea, too.
