Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck has joined Italian company OutDry as a technical advisor and will endorse the brand, its technology and its products.

Mr Steck has set speed records climbing solo on three classic north faces: the Eiger, the Grandes Jorasses and the Matterhorn in the Alps as well as winning the Piolet D’Or in 2009. While climbing Gasherbrum II last summer and Makalu in the autumn, he tested Mountain Hardwear gloves containing OutDry technology and said they were “much better than anything else” he had tried. “OutDry is the future,” he said at the time.
