Activity
- Base Layer Shirts
Quick-drying shirts that wick sweat away and keep you warm when you stop.
- Bike
Your own bike, if you do not rent one. Book bike transport on trains or planes in advance.
- Blister plasters
Special plasters that cushion blisters and help them heal.
- Cross-country skis, poles and boots
Classic and skating need different skis, boots and pole lengths. Most cross-country centres rent complete sets.
- Cycling gloves
Padded gloves ease the pressure on your hands on long rides and protect them in a fall. Full fingers are better on mountain bike trails.
- Drinking Bottles
Refillable bottles for water on the go. Bring enough for everyone on longer tours.
- Energy food
Nuts, bars or dried fruit for quick energy on the way.
- Helmet
A bike helmet protects your head. In some countries it is compulsory.
- Hydration pack
A backpack with water bladder lets you drink without stopping.
- Knee-pads
Knee-pads (and sometimes elbow-pads) are popular in some applications for the protection of joints during crawls or hits. Wikipedia]
- Long Johns
A warm base layer under ski or hiking trousers.
- Running shoes
Running shoes you have already run in, to avoid blisters.
- Ski Socks
Long, thin ski socks prevent pressure points in ski boots. Take one pair per day or wash them.
- Spare tubes
Spare inner tubes that fit your tyre size.
- Sportswear
Breathable clothes for training and matches.
- Thin gloves
Cross-country skiing or skinning uphill, thick ski gloves get too warm. Thin windproof gloves are enough; keep warm ones for breaks and the descent.
- Trail pass
In many regions groomed trails cost a fee, by the day or the season. You can buy the pass online, at the tourist office or at a machine by the trail.
