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.
