What equipment do I need for my trekking or backpacking trip?

Choosing the right equipment depends on several factors: Where are you going? How long are you going? What weather conditions are you expecting? Here is a detailed overview of what you should look out for:

Trekking and expedition tents – protection from wind and weather

A tent is your mobile accommodation - it protects you from wind, rain, snow and insects. Depending on the tour, there are different types of tents:

• Lightweight trekking tents are ideal for moderate climates. Models from Nemo Equipment, MSR and Wechsel Tents offer optimal protection at a low weight.
• Expedition tents from Helsport and Marmot are made for extreme weather conditions and can withstand strong winds and snow loads.
• Tarps are a flexible alternative for minimalist trekkers who value weight savings and travel in warmer regions.

Whether you need a solo tent for a long hike or a robust expedition tent for your next mountain tour - with a tent rental you are flexible and do not have to invest in expensive equipment.

Sleeping mats and sleeping bags – comfort and warmth in any environment

A good night's sleep is essential for your performance on long tours. The right sleeping mat protects you from the cold ground and ensures you are comfortable to lie on.

• Sleeping mats from EXPED, Therm-a-Rest and Sea to Summit offer excellent insulation, even in freezing temperatures. Thick, inflatable mats are indispensable, especially on snow or frozen ground.
• Sleeping bags from Pajak, Marmot and Nordisk guarantee cozy warmth. Down sleeping bags are particularly light and ideal for cold regions, while synthetic sleeping bags can handle moisture better and are easier to care for.

If you rent a sleeping bag and sleeping mat , you can use exactly the equipment you really need depending on the season and tour - without compromising on comfort and warmth.

Backpacks – The right carrying system for long distances

Your backpack is your most important companion on a trekking or backpacking tour. It must offer enough storage space, be comfortable and distribute the weight optimally .

• Trekking backpacks from Deuter are designed for long tours and offer ergonomic carrying systems that relieve the strain on your back and shoulders.
• Lightweight backpacks for backpackers enable fast and flexible travel – ideal for backpackers or minimalists.

If you rent a backpack , you can choose between different sizes and models depending on your type of trip - from the lightweight 40-liter backpack for shorter tours to the 75-liter expedition backpack for demanding adventures.

Hiking poles and headlamps – safety and orientation in any terrain

Long tours over uneven terrain put enormous strain on knees and joints. Hiking poles from Black Diamond or Grivel help you to distribute the weight better and walk more safely.

A powerful headlamp from Petzl is essential if you are hiking at night or camping in remote areas. It can get dark quickly, especially in the mountains - with a reliable lamp you are always on the safe side.

Stove and water filter – being self-sufficient on the road

On long trekking tours you have to provide your own food and drinking water.

• Optimus gas cookers are lightweight, efficient and perfect for hot meals on the go.
• Katadyn water filters allow you to safely drink water from rivers, lakes or streams – so you don’t have to carry unnecessary amounts of water with you.

This equipment makes you independent and gives you the freedom to explore even remote areas.

Why rent trekking equipment instead of buying it?

Outdoor equipment is often expensive – and many people only need it occasionally. Here are five compelling reasons why you should rent your trekking and backpacking equipment from Eddy's Adventure :

1. Cost efficiency – save money

High-quality trekking equipment is an investment. Instead of spending several hundred euros on a tent, sleeping bag and backpack, you can simply rent it for the duration of your tour - this will save you money.

2. Always the right equipment for every tour

Depending on the season and destination, you will need different equipment. A summer trekking tent is not suitable for winter, and a light summer sleeping bag will not keep you warm in Scandinavia. By renting, you are always perfectly equipped - no matter where you travel.

3. Space saving – No unnecessary storage

Outdoor gear can be bulky. If you only use it once a year, it takes up unnecessary space. Renting can save you space and only have gear in the house when you really need it.

4. Sustainability – conserving resources through reuse

By renting equipment, you extend its lifespan and contribute to sustainability. Less consumption means less waste and more conscious use of resources.

5. Top-maintained and up-to-date products

All rental items are professionally cleaned and checked before being passed on to you. Plus, you get to benefit from the latest models without having to constantly buy new equipment.
