Basic paddling gear

<< < (5/5)

AENGUS!:
Here's a question for all you big kayaking heads... If you have a cag and dry pants or whatever do you need a wetsuit or do you just wear that gear with thermals underneath?

Dave B:
wet suit or thermals either way you'll be warm, but thermals are more comfortable and give you more flexibilty.

Sick Boy:
i just wear loads of thermals underneath. just remember there are very few dry shells (cag/pants/dry suit) that are fully dry so some water may get in.

david:
I don't really have an opinion on this topic but I definatly want my opinion to be heard none the less.

I liked what Diarmuid said about sprey decks and tents. Sounded good.

oh and get cranked paddles, they're like normal paddles only better. All the pros with none of the cons.

Any hoo, hi from limerick. It's been kind of a slow day. I got up around nine ish, had a bite to eat and then looked at some rocks for a while. Had a nice lunch around one ish: a bit of stew. that was nice. Tasty.

Then i took a quick nap and looked at rocks again till about 5. good rocks i think, but I'm not sure: maybe they were just normal rocks, hard to tell really?

So after all that It was nice to relax in front of a gene Hackman film, the one where he plays a lawyer in a grey suit who gets chased by hench men but prosecuts the crime boss inb the end.

I stopped half way to give my opinion on something so I'm only guessing he prosecutes the crime boss.

I presume you guys are all posting for the same reason.

I mean really, Booties first or then wetsuit, or wet suit first then booties?

Yep, it's mighty quite down here alright. Think I'll go see how gene is getting on, he was just at the bit where he runs down yet another badly light corridor.

Check out reed http://www.chillcheater.com/ if your looking for a dry cag that won't break the bank (£100.... which isn't much now with the Sterling exchange rate). I got one a couple of months ago and find it great.

It's nice and light so lots of movement but durable (no tears or the like yet... and I'm not as careful with gear as I should be!). Aslo really waterproof and it doesn't have neoprene seals which I find uncomfortable and also tear relatively easily if your not careful with them. Bargain buy I'd say  ;)

Ps their thermal fleece is super warm and comfy too
