Caving Equipment Hire

We have always believed that a quality experience begins with quality equipment. However it shouldn’t be necessary for you to either buy or provide it. So here’s what we’ll provide for you.

Petzl Ecrin Duo 14 LED Helmet/lamp sets,

Arguably the best combination available. Petzl’s Duo caving lamp is light-weight, bright, versatile and entirely helmet mounted, so no bulky battery on your waist belt or cable to get in the way and snag.

Warmbac and Phoenix caving suits

Tough and durable and able to withstand the riggors of one of the most challenging environments outdoor kit has to cope with. Warmbac suits have always the best all rounder, but now Phoenix Caving have come up with a comparable option, with neoprene cuffs and colour coded collars for sizing.

Fleece undersuits

The fleece undersuit provides comfortable insulation for most caving trips. For very cold weather or wetter trips, light thermals can be worn underneath for extra warmth. All together a better option than fllece top and bottoms and allevaites the awkwardness of a cold back when you bend.

Comprehensive Kit store for Vertical Caving

In order to enable you to progress to vertical exploration, Pot Holing, we have invested in 6 full SRT riggs available for Advanced caving skills courses and Level 2 Local Cave Leader Courses, these help you to make the right choices in equipment with out the initial, significant, expense.

These will be in regular use come the spring when we will begin to run, skills courses from our specialy designed training facility in the Lake District, only 45 minutes drive from some of the best caving and mining in the UK.
