Summer Storms Can Be Cold!
… by Woody Wood

I went on a paddle in June. This was NOT the time of year you would expect to need gear to keep warm. We paddled in the rain as much as out of it. I am here to say you NEED to bring something to wear in case the weather gets cool during a rainstorm.

What to bring? I had something to lend and something to wear, but found it too hot. I believe a poncho is as much as most paddlers will need in warm weather. I have a new high-dollar rain coat, but I will need to test it before I have anything to say about it. If you’re going to be outside in the summer, you need to get something breathable. You do need to bring "something" when you paddle!
