Energizer LED Headlamp $20

Two lighting modes; red and white. Runs on 3 AAA batteries (included), perfect for hands-free tasks—like night hikes to the bathroom and rummaging through your river bag in the dark. Bring extra AAA batteries with you, especially on early- and late-season trips.

NRS Wetsocks—2 mm Neoprene Socks $18

The Colorado River is around 50°F year-around, and these neoprene socks can add a

lot of insulating warmth on cold spring & fall mornings! Intended to be worn inside your river sandals, you can easily take them off

once it warms up each day to allow your feet to air out and dry off. NOTE: It is vital to your

feet’s health that you not wear any kind of socks all day or every day while on-river.

Your skin needs to breathe! XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL

(Size down by two sizes! Sizes run very large!)

32 oz Nalgene Water Bottles $10

Chums (Eyeglass Retainers) $6

We carry 4 sizes/styles in order to fit small wire frames, standard frames, and everything in be-tween. All available styles have the vital toggle that enables the wearer to cinch the glasses & chums tight against the back of the head when going through rapids. Eyeglass retainers are a must on river trips. Each pair of your glasses & sunglasses — even backups — should have their own retainer straps.

Cap Keeper $4

It can be windy in Grand Canyon! Clip one end to the back of your hat and one

end to the back of your shirt collar to keep the wind from stealing your hat and throwing it in the river! Made of

woven cotton in assorted colors.

Wide-mouth & Small-mouth varieties stocked depending on supplier availability. You will need 2 hard-sided water bottles on your trip in addition to a hydration bladder if you choose to bring one.

Our Nalgene bottles are BPA-free. Made of high density polyethylene plastic, these bottles are heavy duty and capable of withstanding the bumps and crushes of a Grand Canyon River trip.

Neoprene Socks

Each of these jackets is suitable for use on any of our trips. Plan to try them on at orientation, and go with the one that fits the best. A tight seal around the neck is vital! The generous cut of these pull-over jackets provides a roomy fit for layering underneath.

Paddle Jackets Sarongs & Women’s T-shirts

Women’s River Map T-Shirt* $18

*Women’s t-shirts styles and colors are subject to change at any time due

Only a paddle jacket can keep your core completely dry in the rapids, because the jacket’s polyurethane neck and wrist gaskets seal out cold river water. Staying dry is critical to staying warm in Grand Canyon,

especially in the spring and fall. The river water is ice-cold year around (50°F/10°C), despite warmer daytime temperatures.

Be prepared for anything with a paddle jacket and paddle

pants!
