Recommended Clothing and Kit lists

Live4Adventure will provide you with all the technical and safety equipment you'll need for an activity with us. Of course, if you've got your own gear, such as wetsuit or climbing harness, and we think it's suitable, you'll be welcome to wear it. The essential thing is that you wear the right clothes and footwear for your activities, nothing technical or specialist is needed. Please see our recommendations below;
