We recommend an outfit in which you will feel good: it is strongly recommended to prefer trousers and a pair of ankle boots. Cotton or natural fiber materials are to be preferred. Men or women, shorts and skirts are not recommended… Sometimes the landing field is not the most welcoming (brambles, nettles, ploughed field,…).
In a balloon, in the right season, it is not much colder. We lose less than one degree per 100m of altitude by not flying very high… No feeling of wind since we move with him.
However, it is best to take a sweater or cardigan with you. After the flight, at nightfall, the temperature can drop quickly.
Finally, in the basket, it heats up! The little burners are there to remind us of this and it is not superfluous to bring a cap or a hat. One last tip: keep your car keys in a pocket or in a closed bag, to avoid any loss when setting up and repacking the balloon with the crew.
In short, wear an outfit like for a walk in the forest:
- ankle boots or closed sports shoes. No open sandals, no high heels
- Long pants: no skirts, dresses, or shorts
- Ideally a long-sleeved blouse made of natural material
- For tall people (+ 1m70), bring a cap.
