Packing list

Preparing for a winter adventure is all about staying warm, dry, and comfortable so you can fully enjoy your time in the snow. The right gear makes all the difference — not just for your safety, but for your overall experience.

Below you’ll find a detailed packing list tailored to our different winter trips. Each destination and activity brings its own conditions from Arctic expeditions to winter fat biking. We’ve outlined what you’ll need for each — from technical clothing layers to essential personal items — so you can pack with confidence.

If you’re unsure about any item or want advice on specific gear, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re here to help you get the most out of your Sidetracked adventure.
