You should dress in accordance with the time of year and daily conditions. We have a fly suit that can go over your clothing. We also provide you with a helmet and some gloves. Sunglasses are highly recommended to keep the wind from making your eyes water during the flight and especially in the winter to protect from the snow glare.
