Fleece blouse 200 - 1 unit
Fleece is a type of fabric with high heating power, low weight and good compression. If you want to invest in a material that is even lighter and more compressible but much more expensive, choose a goose down jacket. But be careful! There are several types of down jackets, and many are NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS. For more information, contact our team. If you DO NOT want to invest, you can replace it with a regular sweatshirt, but this is highly NOT recommended because it is heavier, bulkier and dries slowly if it gets wet.
This is the most important item in your backpack. It can literally save your life, as it will protect you from hypothermia. It must have a hood, be water-resistant and preferably breathable, that is, allow your sweat to escape without letting rainwater in. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED but can be replaced by a regular raincoat.
Made of resistant material that does not restrict movement.

ACCESSORIES
-
Climbing backpack 20 to 35L - 1 unit
Backpacks specially designed for climbing have very useful features for the activity, as well as not getting in the way when looking up with your helmet on. Trekking backpacks tend to restrict head movement. Choose models that have a hydration bladder adaptor.

Backpack rain cover - 1 unit
-
Spare battery pack - 1 unit
Choose lithium batteries, which are more resistant to low temperatures.
-
Trekking poles (optional) - 1 pair
