Cloth, yarn, and clothing made out of bamboo fibres. Bamboo fabric is exceptionally soft and light. It is also incredibly hydrophilic, absorbing more water than other conventional fibres such as cotton and polyester.

In summer 2016 Czech mountaineers Marek Holeček and Ondra Mandula attempted to climb the SW face of Gasherbrum I (8068 m) in alpine style. They were stopped by bad weather in 7800 m. Now there is a video...

Soft napped insulating fabric made from a type of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibers. A lightweight, warm, soft and hydrofobic fabric. Regular polar fleece is not wind-proof and does not absorb moisture. It is readily generates static electricity.

Most common plastic, which is usually a mixture of similar polymers of ethylene. Polyethylene is of low strength, hardness and rigidity, but has a high ductility and impact strength as well as low friction. It shows strong creep under persistent force, which can be reduced by addition of short fibers. Its primary use is in packaging (plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes, containers including bottles, etc.).

Kevlar is the registered trademark for a para-aramid synthetic fiber.  Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel. It is designed to protect users from cuts, abrasions and heat. Kevlar-based protective gear is often considerably lighter and thinner than equivalent gear made of more traditional materials.

Marking of half rope for mountaineering, multipitch and ice climbing. Individual strands of rope are used in alternation in the protection system. This system reduces the risk of rope breakage caused by falling stones, and provides maximum safety in alpine conditions and for difficult climbs.

Marking of twin ropes for mountaineering, multipitch and ice climbing. Pairs of the same type of rope are always used, sharing the same protection points. Twin ropes guarantee a high level of safety, especially for multipitch climbing in alpine conditions.
