Surely not, otherwise I'd have included some links or other not-so-hidden advertisement spam.
I wanted to hear your thoughts since as far as I can't test different equipment myself, I have to trust what's written on a tag or a brand, may it be overpriced or not.

Alfred- too bad you live in Italy; if you lived in my part of the world I'd be looking to go caving with you.
I have clear memories of a grotto event where I was leading a trip to a cave. I was chastised severely for "starting so ^$^%#&$ early, and at least one or two folks skipped going that day because of it. My "too early" starting time? 9 AM! Since we were camping about 20 minutes away, that meant leaving camp by 8:30 AM. Imagine asking folks to get up that early! What was I thinking???
Ridgewalking is especially better done at the crack of dawn, when the temps are usually colder and the sun isn't so high in the sky. My favorite time of day!
