Please find below a recommended
clothing list for our riding trips in Patagonia. This list should
provide everything that the
weather demands. The Patagonian climate is famously unpredictable
and weather changes in an instant.
Temperatures vary between 10 and
20 degrees during the day but at night it can drop to zero. The
wind can be very strong so
windproof clothing is especially important

trip only)
