Day Pack:
Since this is a day excursion
just bring what you would need
for the day. Your day pack
should be a medium volume
without a frame which can hold
your personal belonging such as
medication, camera, extra
clothes, drinking water etc.
Clothing:
Should be lightweight, dry
quickly, and provide insulation
even when wet, synthetic fibre
is preferable to cotton. A good
quality raincoat and pants are
ideal as hey will keep you warm
and dry in a variety of
situations. Patagonia Baggies or
guide shorts by far the best all
around river wear, as they are
durable, dry quickly, and
provide the pockets you will
need for little items you’ll
want to keep close. Swimming
costume would be ideal but you
may just get by with river
shorts.
Foot Ware:
It is essential that all rafters
have footwear that they can wear
in the raft, which will not come
off in the event of a swim, as
this is considered standard
safety equipment.
