It's good that the gear is somewhat of the same level and suitable for the specific goal. Cotton shirt will get wet and cool you down, even if you have fleece and a 1000 EUR windbreaker over it.
Last time I was in a store and while shopping observed a customer interested in boots and choosing top models, but also asking for rubber crampons with 6 nails

With such gear you're still suitable for a hill not for a mountain.
