Clothing
All participants of Polarstern expeditions will be equipped by AWI with polar clothing. You may chose one of the equipment lists depending on the field of work. Individual clothing with other items is not envisaged.
How to get your polar clothing:
Chose one of the clothing lists available in the Expedition Interface System, fill in your sizes and load it up in EIS. Your list is going to be checked, signed and handed over to the
clothing storehouse.
Afterwards make an appointment with the colleagues in the storehouse for fitting the clothing. The last possible time for fitting is to be found in the schedule.
Fitting the clothing in the storehouse is strongly advised because some of the polar clothing has an unusual cutting and may fit badly if not tried on but only ordered by list.
You should plan about 1 hour for fitting. The kit bags with your clothing will be brought onboard for you.
PIease contact one of the contact persons if you have special demands on clothing.
