Spring/Fall Trips & Optional Equipment
- Wool or Polypropolene
gloves/mittens
- Wool or Polypropolene
socks
- Jacket & Pants (pile or
polar fleece) NOTE: Wool, Polypro, & fleece items are important as they
provide warmth when wet. Wet Cotton fabrics drain heat from the body, and
should not be substituted for these items
Plan to "layer" clothing for
maximum comfort. On the rafts, guides typically wear nylon shorts, T-shirt, cap
and sandals, with rain gear and polypro underwear, etc. handy in one of our day
bags in case of a shower or cool weather. Polypro long underwear is usually
unnecessary on the Snake or Salmon Canyon in July or August. However, the
weather is impossible to predict and you should come prepared. Key items
for comfort on the river for cool, wet weather are a good rain jacket and
polypro long underwear.
