Sleds |
Alex at Acapulka
is producing the best sleds in the world. The North Pole sled
(developed together with the polar legend Borge Ousland) is made by
9 layers of Kevlar and take an amazing amount of beating. Each sled
is custom made in Germany. The South Pole sled is ultra light with
low sides not to overturn in the wind and sastrugis typical for
Antarctica. The North Pole sled floats and are more shaped like a
torpedo to screw it's way through the pack-ice. Allow three month
for delivery. (Norwegian, English, German)

Shoes
Skies
General |
Sjur Mordre and
the guys at Hvitserk have the best info (and supply) for specific
equipment like shoes and skies. Sjur took part in developing the
famous Alfa Mordre Extreme shoe, based on a concept dating back to
Amundsen. Hvitserk can help you to get the right Asnes skies (used
by almost all North Pole skiers) and bindings. A trip to Norway is
well worth the money for a serious expedition team.

Brynje |
|
| |
Underwear |
Polar
expeditions is all about hard work. Skip the fancy stuff and go with
what works. The netting merino wool (man-made fibers added for
strenght) might look everything but sexy, but it does the job better
than anything else. A double layer of Brynje and a wind-jacket is
enough for temps down to -40F/C.
