What should I bring?

Please check the preparation list above.

What kind of clothing should I wear?

Cotton is good for absorbing sweat but doesn’t dry well & can make you cold so we advise against it. A set of polyester first layers that retains warmth would be ideal as it absorbs sweat, dries quick & is stretchable. We also suggest wearing fleece between your outerwear & first layer.
