What should I wear while kayaking?

Asked a year ago
When kayaking, it is essential to wear suitable clothing that ensures comfort, safety, and protection. Opt for lightweight and quick-drying materials like nylon or polyester that wick away moisture. Dress in layers, allowing flexibility to adjust for changes in temperature. A base layer made of synthetic fabric or merino wool will keep you warm and dry. During cool weather, wear a waterproof and breathable paddling jacket or splash top to shield against wind and water. In warm conditions, opt for a moisture-wicking shirt and shorts or a swimsuit. Avoid cotton as it retains water and can cause discomfort. Don't forget to wear a hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen for sun protection. Additionally, choose appropriate footwear like water shoes or sandals with a secure fit to ensure grip and foot safety.
