Ski touring accessories

Accessories Skydiving in the offer of the Sportano shopSkiting, or touring skiing, is gaining popularity as a form of spending time outdoors while enjoying skiing and admiring mountain landscapes. This dynamic form of recreation allows you to combine your passion for skiing with your love of the mountains and nature. However, in order to make skydiving not only enjoyable, but also safe and comfortable, it is necessary to equip yourself with the right equipment and accessories. It's not just about the basics like skis, boots or poles. Equally important are various accessories that can make a significant difference to the quality of your trip. At Sportano, you will find a wide range of skiable accessories from renowned brands such as deuter, Black Diamond, Gregory, ORTOVOX, HOLMENKOL and Swix.Transport equipment: bags, rucksacks and skydiving bagsTravelling with all your skydiving equipment can be a challenge, especially if your expedition involves travelling longer distances or using different means of transport. Appropriate skydiving bags, pouches and rucksacks are then not only a convenience, but often a necessity. Properly protected equipment is less likely to be damaged, and ergonomic rucksacks and bags allow skis, poles and other necessary accessories to be carried comfortably. Ski covers are an essential item to protect skis from scratches and mechanical damage. There are different types of covers, from simple models made of durable nylon to more advanced versions with additional compartments for ski poles or boots. Some covers even come with wheels, making transport much easier. Skydiving backpacks differ from normal hiking backpacks. They are usually equipped with special holders for skis and poles, as well as additional pockets for avalanche rescue equipment. The ergonomic shape and adjustable straps mean that they fit snugly on the back, which is particularly important when moving actively. Skitter bags are another option, especially for those planning a more organised trip, such as by car. These bags tend to be larger and have more compartments, allowing you to store all your gear comfortably and safely in one place. Some are even large enough to fit not only skis and poles, but also helmets, boots and other accessories.Service and maintenance: waterproofs, lubricants and removerThe key issue in skydiving, in addition to having the right equipment, is its regular maintenance and service. By taking care of your skis, poles and other accessories, you not only ensure your safety, but also your comfort and better performance on the slopes. Among the essentials that every ski touring enthusiast should have in their arsenal are ski seal impregnators, ski lubricants and ski seal remover. Ski seal impregnators are designed to make the seals more resistant to moisture and dirt. This allows the seals to adhere better to the snow for better grip and ski control. This is particularly important in difficult weather conditions such as wet snow or rain. Ski lubricants are essential for optimising the glide. They are available in different versions, depending on the type of snow and temperature. Regular lubrication of skis not only improves their performance, but also protects them from corrosion and damage. This is important not only for professionals, but also for amateurs who want to fully enjoy their time on the slopes. Skiable seal removers are specialised products that allow you to effectively and safely remove old grease and other contaminants from the seal surface. Cleaning the seals regularly before applying a new layer of grease ensures better adhesion and a longer life for the material. It is also worth looking at the various skydiving service kits, which contain all the necessary products in one practical package. This is great not only for beginners who are just getting started with skydiving, but also for advanced users who want to make sure their equipment is always in top condition.Protection and safety: skydiving protectorsProtection and safety are aspects that should never be overlooked in the context of skydiving. The right protective equipment, including skydiving protectors, plays a key role here. These protectors can significantly reduce the risk of injury while practising this exciting but also demanding sport. Skydiving protectors are different types of body protection equipment. The most popular are knee and elbow protectors, which provide an extra layer of protection at critical points prone to injury from falls or crashes. Some models feature advanced technologies such as shape-memory inserts that adapt to the individual body anatomy for maximum comfort and protection. In addition to knees and elbows, it is also worth considering hip, spine or even chest protectors. The latter are increasingly being recommended, especially for those who are planning more challenging routes in more challenging terrain. Spine protectors can be equipped with special technologies, such as ventilation systems or shock-absorbing materials, which significantly increase their functionality. Skydiving protectors are usually made of advanced materials that are both lightweight and durable, so that they do not impede movement but still effectively protect against injury. Many can also be easily adjusted to your body with adjustable straps or Velcro, allowing for a precise fit and increasing the effectiveness of the protection.Other accessories: small but important extrasOther skydiving accessories, although they may seem less important at first glance, often play a key role in a successful trip. They are often the ones that determine comfort and functionality during a long-term expedition in the mountains. Despite their seemingly trivial nature, accessories such as gloves with extra insulation, thermal socks or special goggles with UV filters can increase comfort and safety during hikes. For example, a GPS navigation device for skydiving, although not a first-choice accessory, can be an invaluable support in difficult weather conditions or unfamiliar terrain. It makes it easy to pinpoint your position and find your way to your destination. Similarly, specialised LED lights can be useful for nighttime escapades, allowing you to navigate the slopes safely. Equally important are the different types of multifunctional tools that can prove extremely useful in emergency situations. Pocket knives with different functions, portable equipment repair kits or small but powerful hiking cookers are just some of the extras worth having in your arsenal. You should also not forget the small but extremely important items, such as extra boot buckles, seal pullers or a thermos for a hot drink, for example. These little extras add to your comfort and can prove to be a lifesaver in emergency situations. Last but not least are the various types of cosmetics designed for skiers and snowboarders. From ointments to protect against frostbite, to creams with UV filters, to special shampoos and conditioners for skin and hair exposed to low temperatures and wind. Although they may seem like a luxury, in practice they greatly enhance comfort and fitness during winter escapades. Putting together your own ski touring accessory pack depends on your individual needs and planned route. Nonetheless, anyone serious about going into the mountains should consider which of these small but important extras will be most useful to them. The right choice of these items can make a significant difference to the quality and safety of the whole endeavour.
