Common Clothing Mistakes

Here are some of the common clothing mistakes that you'll want to avoid for a day with River Watch:

Bringing the right clothes will help you enjoy the day.

• Jeans and cotton socks get wet, stay wet and make you cold. Consider lighter and faster drying pants and try to bring wool socks.



• Huge, bell-bottom jeans just get wet and dirty. They also make it hard for you to get in and out of the raft.



• Nylon jackets are not rain jackets. They aren't waterproof.



• Cotton "hoodies" are not a warm outer layer. Wind goes right through it, and if it gets wet, it stays wet. Your outer layer needs to be windproof and or waterproof.



• Keys or a wallet in your back pocket have a tendency to fall into the river. Keep them secure in a zipped pocket of your daypack.
