As conditions can change rapidly, make sure you have clothing and equipment suitable for the worst weather. Weather in the polar regions is around the freezing point (between -2 and +3 °C), so good kayak clothing is essential. Kayakers need only bring their personal thermal clothing to keep warm, but passengers will also need suitable clothing and equipment for non-kayak activities.

Please bring this kayaking gear yourself:

• Thermal underwear, top to bottom
• Fleece vest or jacket to wear over thermals
• Warm fleece hat that covers the ears
• Turtleneck, scarf, or neck gaiter
• Gloves (Gore-Tex outside and Thinsulate inside, preferably ski gloves with grip)
• Thick socks and thin under-socks
• UV-blocking sunglasses
• Sunscreen or sun block
• Waterproof bag (for camera, etc.)
