More Detailed Descriptions for:

Class II and III Rivers

Wear quick-drying clothes like nylon shorts and a swimsuit with shoes that can get wet, such as old tennis shoes, Tevas or sandals with a strap around the heel (no thongs). In spring and on high water trips, wool, fleece or any synthetic garment is recommended. These materials stay warm when wet, unlike cotton which stays the temperature of the water. We have wetsuits, fleece and wetsuit boots available for rental in all sizes from small children through large adults (up to 300+ pounds).

For Colorado trips, wetsuits and wetsuit boots are recommended on Spring trips through June on rafts and mid-July on inflatable kayaks (being that the water is only six hours old, previously being snow!). Wetsuit boots are recommended all season long.

For Utah trips, wetsuits and wetsuit boots are recommended for April and October trips.

For Arizona trips, wetsuits and wetsuit boots are recommended on raft trips from March to Mid-April and on inflatable kayak trips through April.

Our Rental Guarantee applies - if you feel that the wetsuit was not needed, we refund your rental money in full!

We also recommend you bring a waterproof camera, eye glass straps, water bottle, sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm and a sun hat, along with your sense of adventure!

Class IV and V Rivers

Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are required and wool, fleece and synthetic jackets and socks are recommended. We recommend you arrive at the trip’s designated meeting location with a swimsuit under your clothes. You can then slide the wetsuit over your swimsuit. Overnight trips require camping equipment (tent, 10 degree sleeping bag, pad or cot if desired – high quality rentals available) and personal gear (warm camp clothes, extra fleece jacket, rain gear, bug spray, toiletries, extra socks, warm jacket, hiking boots/shoes, warm hat, gloves…). Don’t forget your waterproof camera, eye glass straps, water bottle, sun glasses, sunscreen, lip balm and a sun hat as well as your sense of humor and adventure!
