What to Wear when going White Water Rafting
All-Seasons - Tennis or other rubber-soled shoes are required. Sunglasses and sunscreen are highly recommended. A light windbreaker for an occassional rain shower is a good idea plus a set of dry clothes to change into once you are back on land (including dry shoes!). Outfitters provide helmets, lifejackets and paddles.
Spring and Fall - In addition to "All-Season" items listed above, polypro-pelene clothing, wool socks and sweaters are appropriate. Wet suits are available from most outfitters.
Summer - In addition to "All-Season" items listed above, swimwear, shorts and a t-shirt are usually adequate.
