Female-Specific Gear for Your Trekking Adventure
While most gear is unisex, women have specific needs on the trail. From sizing to hygiene, getting your kit right ensures a comfortable Everest trekking experience.
Women's backpacks are designed for shorter torsos and different hip shapes. Don't just buy a small men's pack. A well-fitted pack prevents back pain on the long walk to Everest Base Camp.
Bring extra wet wipes, menstrual products (biodegradable bags to carry them out), and dry shampoo. A 'Shewee' can make bathroom breaks in freezing temperatures much faster and warmer during your expedition.
Women tend to feel the cold more. Invest in a higher quality down jacket and warmer sleeping bag liner. Staying warm is the key to recovery on a Mount Everest expedition.
Don't shrink it and pink it. Buy serious gear for a serious environment.
