We recommend clothing and footwear suitable for a countryside walk in the weather conditions expected on the day. Generally, it’s warm during the flight, but it’s a good idea to have a jacket handy for after landing, when it can quickly get cooler.
It’s a good idea to wear a hat or cap to protect against the radiant heat from the balloon’s burners. On warm days, it’s also important to bring some drinking water. Sensible footwear is essential, as you might end up walking on damp and uneven fields.
Passengers are usually invited to help with the setup and takedown of the balloon, so it’s also a good idea to wear clothes you can work in and that can handle a bit of dirt.
