South Pole Equipment and Clothing List The following is a full list of all the clothing and equipment I took on the expedition across Antarctica, and some equipment that I decided to leave behind. I have included some comments on how good I actually found the product to use in the rightmost column. In most cases there were alternatives - I have only listed the item I actually ended up purchasing. I'm very happy to answer any questions about this. Goretex is generally not recommended for any equipment as it does not function well in low temperatures. South Pole Equipment List Item Total Qty Mfr/Product Purchased Supplier Cur.

Drop seat zip or appropriate centre zip for toilet use Excellent - very hi-tech and well thought out Fleece jacket, soft shell or puff ball type jacket. 1 Patagonia Mens R2 Jacket Patagonia JPY 22,050 Pockets important (look at a jacket with a hood). NB R2 does not have a hood. Good, but didn't use much Inner Layers Light weight underwear tops 2 Patagonia Capilene LW Crew Patagonia JPY 4,620 Must be capilene or a high quality synthetic material.

Excellent - used this a lot Light weight wool or fleece hat 1 Mountain Hardware Dome Perignon Needle Sports GBP 15.99 As back up. Orginally ordered Terra Nova P200 Took Hat but unavailable. Only used this for sleeping, but worth taking Fleece neck tubes (neck gaiters) 2 Terra Nova P 200 Neck Gaitor Needle Sports GBP 13.99 Can double as ear band and are good for covering the eyes for sleeping.

Windproof over mitts 2 pair Ventile outer mitt Snowsled Polar GBP 65.00 3rd layer. 2nd pair added on top of Denise's list because of wear of Ventile. With cord to hang round neck. Excellent product, but only necessary when it got really cold & windy. Inner lining would be better if sewn in rather than loose. Fleece or wool mitts 1 pair Rab Expedition Down Mitts Needle Sports GBP 79.99 Kept for safety, but never used Heavier fleece or wool gloves 1 pair Terra Nova Guide Glove Needle Sports GBP 39.99 1st/2nd layer. Best if the liners can fit in this layer, and have this layer fit in to the mitt system. You may like to have a pair of windproof mountaineering gloves with the fleece gloves inside. Not generally warm enough to use Good quality goggles 2 pair Julbo - Planet Goggle 143 Needle Sports GBP 44.99 Excellent - used all the time Nose beak for goggles 1 Custom made Made of fleece and wind proof material, sewn to the inside foam of the goggles. It should cover all of your nose, cheeks and as much of your face as possible. It should be loose but provide sun and wind protection. Used a lot to start with, but caused goggles to condense up easily and changed to using neck gaiter coming up underneath goggles. Hannah did make one she found very effective. Good quality 100%UV protective sunglasses with side shields 1 pair Julbo Colorado 39 Alti-Spectron Needle Sports GBP 39.99 Glacier glasses. The glasses should not have metal rims.

Watch 1 Suunto Vector Mountain Gear USD 159.98 Very necessary, but altimeter etc on this one nit necessary. All you need is a watch that you can see easily from under heavy clot ing and that has a good alarm. Camera 1 Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 eBay USD 79.00 Good to have a manual camera, although this one developed problems Camera case 1 eBay USD 12.95 Necessary protection Film 20 JPY 17,000 10 photos/day = 16 films of 36.

A flat panel like the T-20 is probably easier. iPod & headphones 1 iPod (3G) Very well worth taking - but minidisc lasts much longer on very small battery demands. iPod battery 1 Macsales USD 25.99 Worth getting the maximum capacity you can iPod car charger 1 Macsales USD 14.99 Required for iPod Skis, boot and poles Metal edge touring skis, skins and bindings 1 pair Asnes Rago with new skin system Sportsnett NOK 2,600 As a group, it is best that we all have the same ski, binding and boot system. Or, at least have two sets of different systems so those repairs can be accommodated easily. Wide skins are necessary - we started with only thin ones and had to refit Boots matching the binding system 1 pair Alfa boots including one wool innerboot Sportsnett NOK 3,700 Smaller boots to resupply Terrible product. Innerboots disintegrate quickly, three pin binding system is very dufficult to get into, and boots themselves started to get damaged as well Excellent quality light weight ski poles 1 pair Swix Mountain with cork handles Sportsnett NOK 550 Preferably Nordic type or touring poles with Nordic (extra large) baskets.
