What To Wear For Gripped In The Autumn?

1. Dress Sensibly

As with most outdoor activities, there is a high chance that you will get a little dirty - especially in the colder seasons, like Autumn. Wearing clothes that you don’t mind roughing up a little is definitely advised! And as a bonus, wearing clothes that will give you better mobility, like activewear, will keep you extra-comfortable throughout the day.

Open-toed shoes aren’t suitable for our activities, so please wear flat, closed-toe shoes with good grip. We recommend sports trainers or ankle-supporting boots.

2. Prepare For Rain

It’s a good idea to check the weather before setting off so you can dress for the weather. However, just because there's no rain when you leave the house doesn’t mean there won’t be any later in the day - always be provided for the many surprises of the Great British weather! Packing a lightweight, compact waterproof is a great way to prepare for rain.

3. More = More

It’s best to start the day with plenty of layers. You can always take layers off if you get too hot, but you can’t add them on if you've only packed a skimpy tank top and shorts!

We recommend an outfit that looks a little like this: an undervest, a long-sleeved t-shirt, and a warm, tight-fitting fleece jacket. You can always take layers off as you get warmer - hopefully, some of our activities will have you getting sweaty very quickly!

4. Protect Your Hands

Gloves are a recommendation in any season. Instead of thick, bulky winter gloves or mittens, tight-fitting protective gloves are best - they keep your hands protected without limiting your finger mobility. These are highly recommended for activities with wires like the High Ropes Course or Zip Line Trek.

If you don’t have gloves with you on arrival, ask us - we'll often have some available to purchase on site.

5. The Bottom Line

Gripped is fun no matter the weather. But it’s important you dress appropriately - so you can be comfortable while getting out of your comfort zone!

Sensible footwear + moveable clothes + being prepared for any weather = a recipe for a great time.
