What is the correct Gear to wear in Sitka conditions?

Sitka is a rain forest environment, so bring quality rain gear that can keep you dry. Dry suits will be provided as well as life vests and both are required to be worn. (The drysuits are warn over your clothing.) If you wish to not wear a dry suit you will need to sign an additional waiver of release of liability but a life vest is still required. Certain clothing will be advised for different conditions. We have very limited rain shoes/boots at this time so please consider bringing your own. The drysuits will keep your feet dry but your shoes/boots will get wet. You may want to bring goggles/sunglasses and gloves for water spray or rain, it can get chilly with the wind and water spray. Some folks choose to wear beanies and/or baseball hats, just be aware that they can blow off when you are at higher speeds or windy conditions.
