• Astro boots also work well
• We strongly advise you do not wear normal runners or any other footwear, as the reduced grip will increase your risk of injury

HANDS
• Fingerless cycling gloves are best, full finger gloves will get water logged

UPPER BODY
• Base Layer – compression top
• Top Layer – Technical t-shirt (optional)

• Avoid cotton materials!!

LEGS
• Compression leggings are recommended to help protect legs when crawling.
