Crampons, helmets, harness, hiking poles and a certified guide
When planning a day out in Iceland, it's essential to bring wind and waterproof layers to protect against the elements. We also recommend gloves and hats to keep you warm and comfortable. In particular gloves can prevent scratches on the ice since it can be quite sharp. A pair of quality worn in hiking boots is essential to ensure a safe and comfortable experience with our crampons.
