What to Bring on your Whitewater Rafing Adventure This is the most frequently asked question. The answer depends upon the season and whether your trips includes overnight camping. Below you will find three equipment lists. The first is for summer rafting, usually starting in mid June. The third list includes extra items you will need for overnight camping. Wilderness Adventures provides items you will need for rafting, such as life jackets, paddles, helmets. You need to be prepared for three things: cold weather, cold water, and sun. The first, (cold weather), is not as important in the summer, but having something extra to put on in a sudden change of weather is desirable. Sunglasses and a hat are also advisable. If you are extremely sun sensitive carry a long sleeve shirt and long pants (light fabric not levi's) to put on. The factor of water exposure means in hot weather you should wear nylon or polyester or other quick-drying materials, and in cold weather wear polypropylene or wool. COTTON IS THE WORST FABRIC TO WEAR ON THE RIVER (the only exception would be for HOT summer days, cotton helps keep you cool and minimizes the chances of sunburn) Summer Rafting  Swim suit - Shorts - Hat - Sunglasses - Old Tennis Shoes or river sandals Sun Screen - Safety Strap for Glasses Spring or Fall Rafting  Wet Suit (full long sleeves and legs) - Old Tennis Shoes - Wool, Polypro, or Neoprene Socks - Paddle Jacket or Waterproof  Jacket Polypro top or Wool Sweater - Wool Hat - Rain Gear (optional) A Dry Suit may be substituted for a Wet Suit.
