| STOCKING CAP wool/polypropylene |
WETSUIT BOOTIES replaces water sport shoes above |

PILE OUTERWEAR in addition to a quality jacket, synthetic pile pants |

LONG UNDERWEAR |
There is a greater chance of inclement
weather on these trips which otherwise offer many advantages to the well-prepared
river traveler. Polypropylene, fleeces, pile, bunting, capeline, etc.
are a few examples of trade names for a class of synthetic materials
that retain their ability to insulate when wet (please note, cotton does
not). The BOC
store has items that we suggest for this trip.
