ü      An Attitude To Have A Great Time!

 

River Drifters will provide a wetsuit, paddle jacket and a helmet.  If anyone in your group gets cold easily then bring them a capiline, poly pro, fleece or long underwear type of shirt for their upper body.  Even though this trip is in the Spring or Summer and the air temperatures could be in the 60’s or even 80’s, the water in the river is in the mid 40’s.  Nobody has fun when they are cold so we just take the extra caution to make sure that everyone is warm!
