Upstream equipment introduction

The upstream is generally similar to the equipment used for mountaineering and climbing. The difference is that the range of activity is a valley with water. Therefore, in principle, it is required to be light and strong to reduce the physical burden and increase the flexibility of the limbs.

The more suitable backpack has the following characteristics: waterproof, back ventilation, light weight, thick shoulder straps and so on.

Creek shoes

helmet

It is best to use a rock climbing helmet to protect the head and avoid falling rocks or injuries caused by direct impact of hard objects when climbing. The formal helmet passes the European Union (CE) or/and UIAA standards and passes a series of experiments such as positive impact test, side impact test, sharp object penetration test, and stability test. Please try to choose a regular helmet. False security may lead to unexpected consequences.

Waterproof bag

When encountering a complicated situation in the upstream course, even a waterproof backpack will enter the water, and sleeping bags, clothing, cameras, etc. in the bag are easily wetted, so it is necessary to install a waterproof bag in the backpack.
