Class I, II and III Rivers
In spring and on high water trips, wool, fleece or any synthetic garment is recommended. These materials stay warm when wet, unlike cotton which stays the temperature of the water. We have wetsuits, fleece and wetsuit boots available for rent in all sizes from small children through large adults (up to 300+ pounds).
Class IV and V Rivers
Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are required. Wool, fleece and synthetic jackets and socks are recommended. We also recommend you arrive at the trip’s designated meeting location with a swimsuit under your clothes so you can easily slide the wetsuit over your swimsuit.
PFD (Personal Flotation Device): A PFD is commonly called a life jacket. PFDs are required on all of our rivers, not only for our guests, but also for our guides.
