Like jilliannoelle, I'm also a rock climber. I love that this outfit actually looks like something a climber would wear- functional, cute, not overly girly or decorated yet detailed in all the right ways.
The jacket is a nice thick fleece with a zipper on the front. It feels very well made.
The orange shirt is my least favorite part of the outfit. It's not very pretty and the material snags on its own velcro so easily. To be fair though, it looks quite nice with the whole outfit. I just don't think I'd ever pair it with anything else.
The shorts look surprisingly similar to the pair that my fiance wears for climbing
. Plus, it has real working pockets!
The climbing shoes are spot on! The two loops on the back, the way the sole rubber curves up in the back, and the texture of the rubber are just great.
I do agree that the harness would've been better if it were not full body. I have not seen this style used on kids older than 3 or 4 (with the exception of pregnant woman, again like jilliannoelle said).
The carabiners are adorable. They open and close like real ones, except scaled way down.
The chalkbag's material is too shiny/slippery for my taste, but then again, my personal chalkbag is a lizard tail made out of fuzzy fleece, so I might be biased here.
Overall, I would recommend this outfit if you're interested in accurate functional clothes for your doll.
Here are some pictures of the outfit on my slightly modified Jess:
