Expert-curated gear lists for every expedition. Check off items, track your progress, and print your perfect packing guide.
Never bring untested gear to the trail. Break in boots, test zippers, sleep in your bag, and check electronics before departure. We recommend a 2-week testing window.
Items you'll need quickly (rain gear, snacks, map, first aid) should be in external pockets or the top of your pack. Heavy items go close to your back, centered between your shoulder blades.
Mountains change microclimates rapidly. A 3-layer system (base, insulating, shell) outperforms one heavy jacket. Merino wool regulates temperature better than cotton.
Navigation, headlamp, sun protection, first aid, knife, fire starters, shelter, extra food, extra water, extra clothes. These are non-negotiable for any SummitX expedition.
