Needless to say this is just an indicative list. We have tried to name brands that we had and liked. There were some items that we took but we could have well done without them. They are marked with a *. We listed Trekking Poles which we did not carry but would definitely recommend to get your own since the ones that you rent are often in a state of disrepair and keep falling apart. There are some great options like Leki, REI and Black Diamond.
