Canyoning equipment
Canyoning equipment
Canyoning requires appropriate technical equipment to enable you to progress safely.
This equipment is provided by Le Sens de l’Eau and included in the price of the activities.
Participants should bring a few personal items, which are listed on this page.
Requirements
We need a neoprene suit adapted to your morphology thanks to the information (size & weight) requested in the booking form.
We work with combinations of a French brand, Vade Retro. Robust and comfortable, they are combinations composed of two parts, a jacket and pants, 5 mm thick.
They guarantee thermal protection, shock absorption and joint support. It is a real protection tool that guarantees a safe practice.
We use Elios helmets from Petzl, the famous French brand of mountain equipment.
They’re comfortable, lightweight and quick to adjust.
Suitable for young and old alike, they keep your head safe in the event of falling rocks.
They are renewed regularly to comply with Personal Protective Equipment regulations..
For canyoning day trips, we take a picnic. The waterproof 6-liter canisters keep the picnic and your belongings dry during the activity.
We carry the bottle with a DECATHLON 35 liter canyoning bag specially designed for canyon practice.
To get down from the verticals or avoid a jump, we use abseiling equipment:
– a harness equipped with a descender (the eight),
– two lanyards and two carabiners.
The instructor provides ropes adapted to the lengths of the abseilings.
