- In general, dress as though you were going for a nature hike for a few hours. Wear closed-toed shoes like sneakers or boots. Do not wear sandals, flip-flops, Crocks, clogs, or high heels, etc. The balloon may land in rough or wet terrain and you want to protect your feet. If the season is cool, dress in layers so you can add or remove clothing to ensure your comfort.
- Long pants in both summer and winter are recommended to protect your legs from the cold or high brush at the landing site.
- Due to our balloon traveling with the wind, there won’t be a “wind chill.”
- For those individuals that are taller or hair-challenged, a hat is advisable. If your noggin is near our burners, it is similar to standing near a fireplace. So, ultimately, the coldest body part will be your toes.
- Ultimately, if you dress to the ground temperature, you should be comfortable in the air as well!
