What is a kit boule?

A kit boule is a specific bag or pouch designed for caving (cave exploration) and canyoning, usually used to keep ropes, carabiners, and other essential climbing gear organized and secure. The characteristic of a kit boule is that it is round and compact, often cylindrical in shape, which can be easily carried into tight spaces and through narrow passages. This makes it ideal for the often cramped and wet conditions of caves and canyons.

Key Features of a Kit Boule

  • Robust Material: Kit boules are made of tough, hard-wearing, and often water-repellent material to withstand abrasion, sharp rocks, and damp environments.
  • Waterproofing: Many kit boules are waterproof or water-resistant, which is essential for canyoning, where the bag often comes into contact with water.
  • Comfortable Carrying Straps: Kit boules usually have carrying straps or handles to make carrying easier, sometimes even with shoulder straps like a backpack.
  • Ventilation holes: Some kit boules have small holes or a ventilated bottom to allow water to drain, so that wet rope can dry and water does not accumulate in the bag.
  • Contents and layout: The kit boule has a spacious interior without many compartments, making it easy to store and retrieve long ropes and carabiners without them getting tangled.

Using a Kit Boule

A kit boule is specifically designed for storing rope and belay equipment for canyoning and caving. It ensures that the rope remains well organized, is quickly available, and the equipment is less likely to be damaged. Canyoning and caving require quick access to equipment, and the kit boule is a convenient and efficient solution that is specially adapted to the challenges of these sports.
