There’s no denying it, winter paddling is here. The water is cold, the air is cold, and getting wet can quickly turn a great outing into a serious challenge.
If you’re heading out for a paddle this winter, having the right immersion gear is essential and worth the investment! Do you have what you need to stay safe and warm? Do you have the skills and techniques to get yourself out of the water quickly? Even a simple day paddle can become a nightmare if you’re not properly equipped with the right clothing and backup gear to stay warm and dry in case of a mishap.
Take a course, paddle smart, fill out a float plan, always dress for the conditions, carry a safety kit and a dry bag with warm clothing, pack with food and water, bring a reliable way to call for help, and above all, always have a plan!
