> Wearing the replica clothing for two days on Everest,

Get back to us when he's used it for two months. Note the article never
states the altitude, temperature, or weather conditions. If they're
overheating on the glacier, it wasn't very high or nasty. And he appears
to be comparing it to shoddy "modern" gear if fit and mobility are
issues. Modern polyester underwear is far better than polypro (or
merino). How did the nailed boots that are "40% lighter" climb on the
rock crux at the Second Step? Much ado about nothing.
