We recommend a good quality 2-piece rain suit rather than a wetsuit as you will likely be taking it off or putting it on several times throughout the day. Wetsuits are too hard to get in and out of. A splash jacket is nice if you already have one, but a 2-piece rain suit with a jacket and pants works well and is required for each guest. The water in the river is 50 degrees year round as it comes out of the bottom of Glen Canyon Dam. Depending on where you are sitting on the raft you will be splashed by that cold water and at times the big waves will splash over the entire raft. Trust us - you’ll want that 2-piece rain suit. It’s the first item on the list of what you should bring.
Please check the weather carefully and note the 'cold weather items' on the packing list, especially if you are traveling in April, May, late August, or September. Some guests have suggested that we recommend packing a 'dry top' or paddling jacket in addition to your rain gear tops and bottoms. If you tend to get cold, you may want to consider it! On very cool or wet days it will provide additional comfort.
