Vietnam Cycle gears
checklist
The
key to staying comfortable while on an active trip is layering. To get
maximum comfort with minimum weight, you need versatile layers that mix
and match to create the right amount of insulation, ventilation and
weather protection. This gear list has been created to help you choose
the proper equipment. Try to bring only what is necessary; this will
help you and the field staff.
Weather: Throughout our trip, morning
temperatures are typically in the 20-32°C range, warming to the 80s or
low 90s during the afternoon. High humidity can be expected in most of
the regions we visit. Rainfall is a possibility at any time during the
year. Staying adequately hydrated and using appropriate sun protection
should be a priority for all trip participants.
