This page details the equipment you will needs for our club trips. We paddle throughout the year so it is important to wear the correct equipment to enjoy the sport fully. All items marked with a * are available for hire from the club for £4 per day. The club does have a selection of base layer items, but we’d highly recommend that you purchase your own as this will be closest to your skin. Lycra/Rash Tops have no thermal value so are not appropriate for river trips.
