Choosing the right equipment for canyoning
Canyoning is a demanding outdoor activity that combines hiking, climbing and abseiling in aquatic environments. To practice this discipline safely and comfortably, it's crucial to choose the right equipment. Canyoning equipment must be robust, water-resistant and offer adequate protection against the elements. The choice of equipment is based on essential criteria such as durability, safety and comfort, adapted to the specific conditions of each canyon.

Wetsuits and Vests
Neoprene wetsuits are essential for canyoning. They provide essential thermal insulation in cold water environments. Full-body wetsuits in 5 mm neoprene are widely used for their ability to retain body heat while offering great flexibility. Floatation jackets are also recommended, especially for canyons with swimming sections. They provide extra buoyancy and increase safety.
Harnesses and helmets
Canyoning harnesses, such as those offered by PETZL, are designed to withstand the specific stresses of canyoning. It must be fitted with reinforced attachment points and abrasion protection to resist rubbing against rocks. Harnesses often feature adjustable buckles for optimum comfort and safety. Helmets, available from brands such as Kong Sport, are essential to protect the head from falling rocks and impacts against rock faces.
Ropes and Descenders
Canyoning ropes, made by brands such asEdelrid, are designed with specific materials offering resistance to water and abrasion. They must be dynamic or semi-static to absorb the shock of abseiling. Descenders, on the other hand, provide optimum control when descending the rope, and are easy to use even with wet hands.

Having the right equipment doesn't stop there; you also need to think about practical accessories such as waterproof bags designed specifically to carry your personal gear while remaining impervious to water splashes during your aquatic adventures.
