maxsmamma Posted March 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2009 What to wear when I go Zip lining? In the interest of saving space, I was going to wear my teva sandals, but my DH thinks I'd be better off with tennis shoes, which I had not planned to bring. I was now debating between shorts--which could ride up, and thin hiking pants. Am I overthinking this whole thing?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska-forget-me-not Posted March 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've seen pics of folks wearing shorts and tank tops. I haven't seen any sandals. Perhaps your DH is right. I'd hate to stub a toe, or worse, landing on a platform. I'm planning on wearing shorts, tank top and tennis shoes when I go. I'm live in Alaska so it's going to be very hot for me :)! I've rappelled before, but never zip lined. I never had shorts ride up in a rappelling harness. Be sure to use lots of bug dope though. I heard there's skeeters in the jungle. Have a GREAT TIME! :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted March 26, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I haven't zip-lined myself but have observed from terra-firma...I would go with the shoes. Clothing....well I wouldn't worry to much about that as long as I had my DEET spray applied beforehand.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beannie Posted March 26, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For sure tennis shoes! And pants are better than shorts even if they are warmer. On a blouse/shirt, bring something you don't mind getting dirty. DH wore a tee shirt that he had just bought at another port and I never could get the dirt/cable stain out. Whatever you wear, have fun. It's an awesome experience. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzette2 Posted April 11, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I would definetly recomend capris because shorts may ride up and give you an uncomfortable wedgie. I also got pretty grimmy so don't wear white, you will never get it clean again. Have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arf2005 Posted April 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2009 My group all wore shorts, and had no problems. Most of us wore our water shoes since we already had them on from water rafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all a great experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofgandm Posted April 14, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We just did it this past week and we all wore shorts and t-shirts. My husband wore Tevas and was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
