Compulsory MTB Clothing

Please bring the following items to one of our Motatapu partner stores to be checked by qualified staff:

We recommend a long sleeved top made from a warm quick-drying fabric such as Icebreaker Superfine 200 or polypropylene. We do not recommend cotton fabrics.

Waterproof Jacket/Shell

We recommend a breathable jacket with a minimum of 10,000mm waterproofing. No ponchos! Jackets do not need to be seam sealed, although they will be more effective if they are.

Including bandages, plasters, tape, gauze, whistle and survival blanket. We also recommend carrying pain relief medication (e.g. Panadol) for headaches, sunscreen and electrolyte replacement powder (e.g. Gastrolyte) for cramps, along with other medications you might need (e.g. prescription or hay fever drugs).

  • Padded cycle shorts: for added comfort!
  • Warm tights: e.g. polyproplyene or Icebreaker tights
  • Full fingered gloves: e.g. polyproplyene or Icebreaker gloves
