Dressing appropriately for a whitewater rafting trip is key to staying comfortable and safe on the water. The right clothing can keep you warm, dry, and protected from the elements. Here’s everything you need to know about what to wear for your rafting adventure.

• Quick-drying layers – Avoid cotton, which stays wet and cold. Instead, opt for synthetic or wool materials that dry quickly.
• Secure footwear – Wear river sandals with straps or water shoes that won’t slip off in the rapids.
• Wetsuit or drysuit (seasonal) – In colder water, a wetsuit or drysuit can help maintain body warmth.

• Sun protection – A hat, sunglasses with a strap, and waterproof sunscreen are a must.
• Windbreaker or rain jacket – Even on warm days, the wind and water spray can make things chilly.
• Dry bag – If you need to bring personal items like a phone or extra clothes, a dry bag will keep them safe.

Proper gear can make or break your rafting experience. Pack smart and be prepared for an incredible day on the river!
