Caving
Here is a guide on the essential kit for every Caver.
If you're looking to put together your own SRT kit, here is a handy guide on what you'll need.
Warmbac Speleo III
The Warmbac Speleo III is suitable for occasionally very aqueous trips, and the more ‘athletic’ stream caves, particularly if swimming is expected and extra buoyancy is helpful.
Warmbac Oversuit Cuffs
The Warmbac Oversuit Cuffs are for use with oversuits which don’t have an integral neoprene cuff. They slide on over the outside of the suit, providing a reasonable seal against water and mud.
Warmbac Junior Cordura Oversuit
The Warmbac Junior Cordura Oversuit is the hard wearing work horse of the Warmbac range, it is trusted by cavers and potholers around the globe. It is made with 9oz/1000 denier super-strong Cordura for abrasion resistance and features a detachable hood, neoprene cuff and an adjustable collar.
Warmbac The Speleo-Pro
The Warmbac The Speleo-Pro is an excellent wetsuit for very wet and cold cave conditions. Due to the heavy duty nature of these wetsuits they would also work in any wet cold environment where prolonged exposure is likely.
Warmbac The Cavers Neo-Fleece
The Warmbac The Cavers Neo-Fleece is a unique design pionered by Warmbac. The Neo-fleece is a combination of Wetsuit and Fleece undersuit featuring 3mm double lined neoprene body with fleece arms and legs.
Warmbac SRT Riggers Bag
The Warmbac SRT Riggers Bag has beendesigned from the outset with quality in mind and under go rigorous testing in the field before production. Whether you are looking for a small personal bag or a rope bag large enough for the deepest Alpine cave Warmbac has a tackle bag for you.
Fenix Helmet Attachment
The Fenix Helmet attachment bracket is a simple and cost effective way of securing either your Fenix Headlamp to your new caving helmet. Fenix has designed the helmet bracket to feature a very easy to use system.
Raumer Minox Hanger
The newest iteration of the Raumer Minox hanger is lighter, and has a larger hole for accommodating carabiners and attachments, all while maintaining the previous breaking strength. The polished finish allows for easy removal of mud and dirt (specific for caving), differentiating itself from matt grey hangers needed to mitigate visual pollution in outdoor areas.
Petzl Aven
The Petzl Aven caving harness is comfortable, durable and will carry you through your subterranean explorations with ease. It has foam reinforced leg loops and waistbelt which provide extra-comfortable support as you progress. The Aven has been designed with durable materials around the attachment points, leg loops and gear loops, offering long-lasting wear resistance. The attachment points are positioned as low as possible to make rope ascents easier and more efficient. Six gear loops, two slots for Caritool tool holders, and a bag tether attachment loop are included for carrying and organizing gear.
Beal Antipodes
The Beal Antipodes is the benchmark standard rope for work at heights. Its robustness is well proven: with a construction similar to the Industrie, it has a specific sheath which gives it record manoeuvrability and resistance per gram.
Lyon Bits Bag
The Lyon Bits Bag is a harness-mounted caving transport bag with a 4-litre capacity, making it suitable for carrying essentials such as food, emergency kit and survey notes. It has a reinforced base with drainage holes and a draw-cord closure system. The Bits Bag is big enough to be useful, but small enough to not get in your way when things get tight.
Camp Rockstar Helmet
The Camp Rockstar is a tough and durable helmet that's perfect for use in the commercial environment. Whether you're on a high ropes course, a climbing wall or out at a crag, the Camp Rockstar wont let you down. It features a tough and durable injection moulded polypropylene shell and moulded in vents to aid airflow. This will make it more pleasant for use in sunny conditions.
