Stay safe and comfortable with paddling and weather with our best kayaking attire. You’re dressing for the air and water temperatures, so avoid cotton and use synthetic materials or wool in your kayak outfit!

  1. Dry Suits—These kayak clothes use waterproof and breathable fabrics with latex gaskets, and they are the best way to stay warm and comfortable in cold climates. Semi-dry options for this kayaking top use neoprene for the neck gasket, but both are fantastic. With a Union Suit or Dry Suit Liner, you can stay warm and paddle longer.
  2. Dry Tops - This type of paddling clothing is similar to a dry suit but only for the top half of your body. It has latex neck and wrist gaskets but features a wide Velcro band at the waist for dry pants, bibs, or even a spray skirt. A dry top can be worn over a wetsuit to keep water out when you roll your kayak with a spray skirt. This kayaking top also comes in a semi-dry option!
  3. Wetsuits - These kayaking clothes are made of neoprene and come in various thicknesses. They work by trapping a layer of water against your skin—your body heat then warms it up to provide a layer of insulation and warmth. We recommend using one when it’s chilly but not cold. Newcomers enjoy wetsuits for their kayak outfits because of their protective cushioning.
  4. Paddling Jackets - These block the wind, splash, or spray. They can be pull-over-the-head style jackets or have a full or half zipper in the front. They can be short or long-sleeved, and some feature a hood. Paddling jackets can be waterproof, breathable, or insulating!
  5. Paddling Pants—This type of kayaking clothing covers various kayaking pants with latex ankle gaskets or attached socks. Many of these pants block wind, splash, and paddle drips in your lap. Neoprene pants are a great choice if you need insulation and cushioning while submerged.
  6. Kayak Shoes - This type of kayak clothing offers a wide selection of styles, including standard low-profile wet shoes, taller neoprene booties, calf boots, river sandals, and kayaking shoes. Due to the layers, be sure to go up a size - cramped toes are cold toes!
  7. Layering—To keep yourself warm and comfortable in your kayaking clothes, dress in layers and adjust your comfort level. A wicking layer allows perspiration to easily pass through your dry wear, keeping you more comfortable and less chilled. Then, add a fleece or wool shirt on top of the pants. On colder days, add additional layers for warmth!
  8. Shorts help you stay comfortable and protected with quick-drying board shorts or neoprene!
  9. Gloves - This kayak apparel protects your hands from the sun, blisters, or the cold - from half-finger style gloves to neoprene paddling gloves. And if grip is essential to you, check out our pogies! We have only the best kayaking clothes for you here.
  10. Hats and Socks - Check out this type of kayak clothing when you need additional warmth, protection, or comfort. Block sun and rain using our hats, or prevent your toes from getting cold with thin, warm neoprene socks.

Dressing in the proper kayak clothing for the weather and type of kayaking makes your day on the water the best it can be. Put together your perfect kayak outfit today!
