Due
to the wonderful whims of mother-nature you need to
come prepared for variable weather conditions. Wear
clothing that accurately reflects your degree of sensitivity
to heat and cold. Please call us and we will
help you with choosing the proper attire.
You
will need to layer your clothing to include a warmth
layer that will keep you warm even when wet. Avoid
cotton; like sweat shirts, sweat pants and blue jeans.
Once cotton gets wet it stays wet, making you cold.
Warmth

A
fleece or synthetic shirt, vest or jacket functions
best as a warmth layer. Fleece and synthetics wick the

if it gets wet. Wool also works as a warmth layer.

a bathing suit that will fit comfortably worn underneath
a wetsuit.

lower legs and feet will get wet stepping in and out
of the kayak, so wear old tennis shoes, wetsuit booties,
rubber/teva type sandals or rubber boots.

Fleece or wool caps or poly rain hats for cool weather.
