FALL PADDLING
Wear Appropriate Clothing:
Please use a base layer closest to your skin (a wicking material like merino wool, synthetic, or polypropylene), an insulating layer (polyester fleece or wool), and a protective outer layer (breathable, wind and waterproof jacket). For your feet, a pair of wool or synthetic socks and waterproof boots. It is always a good idea to bring a change of clothing to avoid driving home in damp, sweaty clothing. Avoid cotton whenever possible.
