All items below must be worn or carried in your Race Bag on every stage. You will not be permitted to start or continue without them. These items must not be moved into your Drop Bag.
Your sleeping bag, bivvy bag and blizzard bag are mandatory safety items — in extreme Arctic cold, they let you get warm, stay protected from the weather, and await support or rescue.
Use your Drop Bag for camp, sleeping and recovery items that are required between stages but do not need to be carried in your Race Bag while racing. Mandatory Race Bag kit must still stay with you on course.
