Gear Notes

The Antarctic is a vast area entered by a great variety of expeditions. On skis, kiting, dog-sled, snowmobile: supported, unsupported, solo, groups, races. As with the Arctic, it is not possible to put together a single gear selection suitable for all these expeditions.


So we have highlighted the South Pole and Mt Vinson as the two main expedition destinations in the Antarctic and presented as simply and clearly as possible a selection of the gear needed for an extended expedition to each. We have left it to you to make your own choices during the careful preparations which have to go into a polar trip.


If you can't find exactly what you want, please ask us - we have modified more kit for expeditions to polar regions than anywhere else.
