What to Wear Ziplining

Last Updated: September 2026

Wear clothes you can put a harness over and shoes that will not fall off mid-span. The operator issues helmet and harness. You bring the layer underneath.

Quick Facts

  • Closed-toe shoes with a heel — almost always required
  • Athletic clothes
  • Hair tied back
  • No loose scarves or dangling jewelry
  • Weather layer for the platform, not a fashion layer

Can I Wear Shorts?

Usually yes. Harnesses sit on thighs. Short-shorts can ride. Knee-length is safer.

Can I Wear Jeans?

Yes. Denim is allowed on most tours. It gets heavy and stiff if you get wet, and it can restrict a high step onto a platform more than athletic pants. Fine for a dry short course.

Can I Wear Sandals or Crocs?

Typically no. Platforms and stairs are not flip-flop terrain. If the official website does not list them, bring sneakers.

What Not to Wear

  • Flip-flops and slides
  • Dresses that will not cover a harness
  • Dangling earrings
  • A hat that will fly
  • White clothes you care about

FAQ

**Do they provide a jacket?** Usually no.
