Dress for wind, movement and a mountain launch rather than for the temperature outside your hotel. The useful way to approach this is to compare the parts of the day that actually affect you: transport, timing, group size, walking, inclusions and how much flexibility you want.
Wear secure shoes
Closed athletic or hiking shoes are the easiest choice for a running takeoff and landing. Avoid footwear that can slip off or make it hard to move quickly when instructed.
Use light layers
Conditions at elevation and in moving air can feel cooler than the city. A light jacket or long sleeve is useful without restricting movement. Follow the operator’s instructions if they provide or recommend specific gear.
Secure loose items
Anything that can fall should be zipped, strapped or left behind. Confirm the operator’s policy for phones, cameras, sunglasses and bags before the flight.
Sun protection still matters
Even if the air feels cool, exposed skin can get significant sun. Sunscreen and sunglasses with a secure fit are practical additions for the waiting and flying portions of the outing.
Compare current options
Use live availability as a shopping tool, then come back to the guide if you need help deciding what fits.
