Basic Track Pack BYO Rucksack

Hire for up to five nights. NEED LONGER?

It rains out here, sometimes a lot. Then there's the wind: source of Three Capes landscape features such as Hurricane Heath and Tornado Flats. We've chosen jackets that are light enough to feel comfortable (and not sticky!) and roll into your pack neatly, but are most definitely waterproof and will keep out the fierce Tasman wind. Made from waterproof breathable three-layer Reflex fabric in men's and women's styles and sizes. Unsure about your size? Check the sizing chart at the bottom of the page.

Everything you need to eat, drink and be merry: plate, bowl, mug with measuring scale, knife, fork, spoon, and scissors (the latter essential if you're planning to eat out of any kind of packet). Our mess kits are for hire, or as part of the deal if you rent one of our track packages, or available to buy.

Yes, you could borrow the sleeping bag that Uncle Ted used to take duck-shooting... but modern sleeping bags are compact and so much lighter and warmer. (The PWS Three Capes Track packing list says that a -5° bag is needed; note that this is a lower limit measure – and it's not actually below freezing all year round here – in spite of what you fear). We offer a mix'n'match assortment: Bags (all degree rated on the EN13537 scale): • +5° (lower limit 0°) down bag (great for warm sleepers in summer) • 0° (l.l. -4°) synthetic bag (sturdy) • -1° (l.l. -8°) ultra-light down bag (oh so light! oh so small!) • -8° (l.l. -15°) down bag for those who are really REALLY afraid of the cold, and/or vampires. Liners: • our standard stretchy t-shirt material liner (cuddly) • a toasty 'Thermolite Reactor Extreme' liner which increases sleeping bag performance by a few to several degrees (depending on how warm you sleep) • a silk/cotton liner (teeny tiny and super light) Confused?

Those who care about weight (Gail) can find them in the drop down menus. NB: If you are taller then 180cm, choose a long bag from the options below to make sure it keeps you comfy.
