Fabric overview: Neoprene scuba

next up on my favorite fabrics is neoprene scuba! This is a newer fabric to me but once i started using it, i couldnt stop haha.

neoprene scuba is a polyester double knit fabric with a sponge-spacer in between that can vary in size from barely noticeable to 3mm or more. its sometimes referred to as spacer fabric as a result. the term "scuba" can be thrown around a lot, but it typically refers to a thick, double knit poly fabric. It will usually have stretch via the knit weave. (this is something to watch out for, consistency in labeling is worth making note of)

I love neoprene scuba for its ability to hold smooth, defined forms. the thickness is great for smoothing, and the spongey layer gives it a good, shapely body structure. plus the double knit weave creates a soft finish. because of these properties, its my #1 go to for cartoony costumes.

neoprene scuba is also great for bodysuits and form-fitting things as well due to its smoothing properties. I like it a lot for boot covers.

Typically the two main things i use scuba for are bodysuits and capes. Capes for the shape, bodysuits for the smoothing. also it doesnt fray much so I have on occasion left edges raw!

Things to watch out for: 1) as was alluded to, its not easy to shop for. because of the variation in sponge thickness, if youre buying online its not easy to tell if youre getting a thinner, standard double knit or a true spacer scuba. also the terms can be hard to track from neoprene, scuba, spacer, bonded wetsuit fabric, etc. it takes some footwork to find the right fabric. 2) by nature, its a stretch fabric and its not easy to make...unstretchy. this stretch can pose challenges for draping, especially on capes. 3) its heavy and its itchy. no surprise that twice the layers of fabric mean that it can get heavy fast, and the sponge layer is made of little polyester pokers that can irritate the hell out of skin. lining a bodysuit or finishing internal seams is a must. 4) neoprene isnt easy to top stitch. its like trying to top stitch marshmallow. i havent been able to top stitch neoprene in a way that doesnt create a rounded bump effect (which hey, you might even want depending on the application). 5) its a thick heavy fabric, so its another needlesnapper when sewing. also because the dual layers, pressing seams is not always easy. 6) sometimes it has a waterproof finish that makes paining hard, ive also had the sponge layer *literally* suck paint up when trying to airbrush it. (again, think about how applying watery paint to a sponge would go)

despite the downsides, its a fast favorite of mine. what it can do well, it does *so* well. its a special fabric thats akin to sewing with a thin layer of plush marshmallow (as as mentioned...pros and cons to that)

I get my neoprene fabric from big Z mostly, but its also offered at fabric wholesale direct and spandex world. jo anns also has some fascinating scuba suedes that im a big fan of as well. it has a price point between 9-20$ a yard.

Leather Jacket, Black Catsuit, neoprene skirt and top.

Once again, the catsuit makes it possible to wear weird fabrics for a whole damn day. Yes, that skirt and top is made from neoprene, the stuff they make wetsuits out of. It's an insane thing to make and an insane thing to buy. But I have a hard time resisting something truly weird if I find it for a good price in a thrift store.

And it IS a cute outfit. You gotta give me that.

[consumeroflemoans]

Oh yeah, I think Vilidia beach stuff would probably be cute as hell

The general shit like swimwear, feeling the warm sand, using a towel as a big blanket, looking at fish and rocks underwater, literally just sitting there next to the ocean and watching the water and talking I do specifically like to think that Vil would either help Idia learn swimming or at least floating or drag him through the water a bit while he holds on to some kind of float, maybe he gets a swimming board so he can paddle along

And the sunburn, oh dear, the sunburn

Of course also usable is how close Idia has been to the ocean all his life without ever touching it and I'm not sure how far down the Isle of Woe is, but I imagine we're talking deep territory, deep enough to see some weird creatures down there

Underwater ecosystems can get wild, imagine looking out of your window and seeing a handfish walk around outside before the ground swallows it up and swims away, a gulper eel repeatedly bumping into the glass like a pigeon

Eating ice cream at the beach while your boyfriend tells you about the unknown to men that lurk within the waters

Hating raw fish together is simply the backbone of any romantic relationship

I also feel the need to tell you that I just got an ad for bitcoin on your blog and it read: "Bitcoin Hyperdeflation, experience rapid and sustained price decrease with Bitcoin. Join the trend today!" and I think that's very fitting considering capitalist (submissive)

Aughhh oh my gosh them in beachwear. Vil either in swimwear or like a loose beach shirt?? Peak. (Even though I feel like he’d be the kind of guy to wear a wetsuit to the beach for extra skin protection)

Vil’s looking like his perfect model self meanwhile there’s a scrawny, pale ass man beside him that’s burnt to a crisp in seconds despite the layers of sunscreen Vil put on him.

Also I love the thought of Idia opening up about his childhood now that there is someone he can talk to about the Isle of Woe. Everything’s supposed to be classified, but Vil’s memory can’t exactly be wiped. I think he’d find living underwater pretty cool at times and he’d ramble about all the weird creatures he’s seen.

Omg actually. Side tangent. I can see the two of them despising the feeling of sand together. It’s a sensory problem for me personally and I think it’d be the same for Idia at times. Vil just doesn’t like it because it gets literally everywhere and he doesn’t feel very clean after the beach. Swimming is fun, but the space between is less fun.

Also I can see Vil being in love with having fruit smoothies or coconut milk by the beach. I remember going to a really obscure beach once on vacation with mostly only locals on it. There was an absolutely incredible fresh fruit juice stand that I think Vil would have loved.

And as a capitalist (submissive) I personally do not invest in bitcoin and instead only invest in men that will take my money with a 100% guarantee. /j

Whether you're a seasoned rafter or a first-timer, the rafting experience here is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories. 

Let’s explore everything you need to know to make the most of your Rishikesh rafting trip!

Exploring the Thrill of Rafting Adventure in Rishikesh

A rafting adventure in Rishikesh is more than just paddling through rapids. It’s about immersing yourself in the thrill of navigating the challenging waters while taking in the breathtaking views of the Himalayan foothills. Rishikesh offers a range of rapids, from Grade I to Grade IV, catering to both beginners and experienced rafters. For newcomers, gentle stretches with small waves offer a relaxing yet exciting experience, while adrenaline junkies can take on the more intense rapids such as the Roller Coaster and Golf Course rapids, both known for their heart-racing thrills.

Timing your trip is essential to ensure that you experience rafting at its best. The best time for Rishikesh rafting is from mid-September to early June. During this period, the weather is ideal for outdoor activities, and the water levels of the Ganges are just right. In the post-monsoon months, the river is calm, providing a smoother ride. As summer approaches, the rapids become more challenging, offering an adventurous rush for experienced rafters. However, it is best to avoid the monsoon season, as heavy rainfall can cause dangerous water conditions.

Understanding Rishikesh Rafting Price: Is It Affordable?

One of the key considerations when planning your rafting adventure is the rishikesh rafting price. The cost of rafting varies depending on the distance and the level of difficulty of the rapids. On average, the price can range from ₹600 to ₹2,500 per person. Some of the most popular routes, such as Shivpuri to Rishikesh or Marine Drive to Rishikesh, offer both affordable and premium packages that include safety gear and transportation. Keep in mind that while prices may differ, Rishikesh offers great value for money compared to other rafting destinations.

What to Wear for River Rafting in Rishikesh: Stay Safe and Comfortable

Knowing what to wear for river rafting in Rishikesh is crucial for both comfort and safety. It’s recommended to wear lightweight, quick-drying clothes like shorts and T-shirts that won’t hold excess water. Steer clear of cotton clothing as it becomes heavy when wet and can make you uncomfortable during your rafting adventure. You will be provided with a life jacket and helmet for your safety, but wearing appropriate footwear such as water shoes or sandals with straps is also essential. If you are rafting in cooler weather, consider wearing a wetsuit to keep you warm during your adventure.

Conclusion

Rishikesh offers one of the most thrilling and scenic rafting experiences in India, making it a must-visit destination for adventure seekers. Whether you're looking for a rafting adventure that challenges your skills or a serene journey through nature, Rishikesh caters to all types of rafters. By choosing the best time for Rishikesh rafting, understanding the Rishikesh rafting price, and knowing what to wear for river rafting in Rishikesh, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

So, gear up and get ready to paddle through the powerful rapids of the Ganges, surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Himalayas. Your unforgettable rafting journey awaits!

And you don’t seem to understand

Graves x reader

Song fic request: I deleted the “song requests open” post without copying the requester’s user like a dumbass! If this was your request please comment so I can tag you

Pairing: Graves x reader

Songs: Work Song - Hozier, Duvet - Bôa

Reader pronouns: They/She

Callsign: Red

“RIGHT, MORONS!”

Price’s booming tone commanded the attention of the briefing room as he walked in, cradling several maps in his arms. He passed by Soap, who leaned down to speak to the soldier at his side.

“Remind me not to practice my jokes on him.”

They smiled and laughed quietly, careful to not alerts their Captain.

Across the table, Graves had abandoned the rocking of his heels in favor of staring daggers to the two ahead of him. Seeing Soap lean in her ear, watching her smile, it was all he could do to tear his gaze away.

“We’ve got the exact location of this intel—problem is, it’s 40 meters underwater in the Indian Ocean.” Price pointed out a mark on the map in front of him with a small knife. “Our heli will be a massive, noisy target for the time it takes to dive down there, so we need all hands on deck to defend it while our lovely new private—" he pointed with his knife once more, “and Graves retrieve the goods.”

“The rookie’s going down there?” Ghost huffed.

“Callsign Red, sir.” They murmured.

“Sorry?”

“Red,” Price interrupted the standoff, “has more diving experience than any of us, and Graves is our best choice for handling underwater explosives. Problem?”

Ghost adjusted his weight where he stood. “No, sir.”

“Right. Get your shit together, we leave in fifteen.”

“Yes sir.” The room chorused together. Price took his supplies with him, leaving the briefing room to prepare the helicopter.

Murmured jokes and teasing were all that filled the silence of the equipment room, Red inadvertently listening as they suited up. Helmet came last, of which the latch was not cooperating.

“You need some help there, honey?” Graves was adjusting his wrist guards as he approached.

“No..” she struggled with the latch, eventually huffing and dropping her hands to her sides.

“There nothin’ you can do, it’s tangled.” Graves flipped open a pocket knife and tilted her head, cutting the intertwined strap loose. “Just get a new one.”

Freeing herself from the helmet, they set it down with the other damaged equipment and found a replacement.

“So, Red, what’s with that name? First ever soldier to shoot something?”

Gaz stifled a laugh at Ghost’s comment.

“It’s after the submarine.” they replied easily.

Graves furrowed his brow. “Red October?”

“Exactly.”

Ghost grunted, clearly still waiting to be impressed. The rest of the team returned to their own conversations, while Graves watched Red closely.

“Don’t let em’ scare you. We’re all secretly glad to have a break from each other with a new member.”

“Wasn’t planning on it.” Red grinned. “So, you’ve got your hands on explosives in the water before?”

Graves sighed good-naturedly. “I have. Not to say I haven’t had some close calls. Comes with the territory.”

“I’m sure it does.”

“Will you two stop eye-fucking and get to the hangar?” Ghost lingered in the doorway to shout at them, Soap’s cackling at his assumption echoing down the hall behind him.

“We’re-" Red stood up, adjusting their backpack.

“That is..” Graves trailed off, itching the back of his head

“We’re not.”

Ghost damn near rolled his eyes at the two, leaving the doorway to let them trail behind. Red followed quickly, Graves going after them.

“This is the spot.” Price signaled to the pilot to hover over the water, rising from his seat. Red and Graves had gotten the chance to pull on their wetsuits and waterproof armor, along with headgear and an oxygen tank.

“You look daft, Graves.” Soap shook his head, grinning.

“Thank you.”

“No- that was-"

“Just leave him be.” Red sighed.

The side door slid open, revealing the howling wind and the raging water below them that appeared darker than the night sky. Stars glittered above them, and Red nearly got distracted before Ghost shoved a handful of rope into her arms, doing the same for Graves. The rope had a clip on either end, which they hooked to their waists and to two indents installed into the ledge. They lowered themselves partially, letting the slack dangle toward the freezing water. The sole of their boots sank below the surface.

“Touching water, Captain.” Graves spoke into comms.

“Go ahead.”

With a faint click of metal, they both detached themselves and plunged underwater, kicking to turn over and begin swimming down. Their headlights offered some guidance, leading them to a cave that hid a door. The surrounding coral guarded a capstan. Red saw Graves’ eyes through his goggles look to her, at which she nodded. He tried a few buttons on the panel before one glowed green, and the doorway slid open. The both of them were sucked into an airlock space, Graves managing to hit the button on the other side and shut the door before the water filled the space. The escaped water drained into the center of the floor, heavy breathing filling the silence. They pulled off their headgear, Red stepping forward to yank open the second door. They stepped through, weapons on a swivel.

“Entry’s clear, Cap.” Graves muttered.

“Files should be in the room at the end of the hall.”

The mission almost went smoothly—they swept the neighboring rooms with little incident, save a few security agents that really didn’t understand their job. The glass case that held the files was the problem.

“It’s not gonna budge.”

Red sighed, giving up on twisting the bolts with their knife. “Get ready to run, then.”

“What?”

Red aimed and shattered the glass with her bullet, digging through the enclosed office before racing out past Graves with the files.

“Come on!”

Alarms blared in their ears, and the hall lights flashed red.

“Are you insane?”

“Yes!”

“Price, requesting pickup, NOW!”

“On it.”

“I hear them.” Red glanced to the wall she ran beside, shouting and scuffling echoing through the underwater chamber.

“Stop where you are!” A man stepped out from an open doorway, gun raised at Red.

“You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into, sweeth-”

He couldn’t finish his sentence before he fell back wildly, ropes of crimson spraying the wall. Red turned to see Graves’ pistol raised, his eyes dark.

“I’m the only one who calls you that.”

“What?”

“Come on.” Graves gently ushered her along, checking behind them and guarding her from every new corner.

“Gaz is tracking you now, the airlock in front of you should be the one you came through. We’re right where you were dropped off.”

“There.” Red forced the airlock door open, beginning to shut it before pausing.

“What’re you waiting for?”

Red blinked, looking to her colleague. “These guys are terrorists, right?”

Graves’ brow furrowed. “Yes?”

Red let the door hang open, starting for the one that led into the ocean.

“Hold on,” Graves held her back with a gloved hand to her shoulder. “You’re going to drown them?”

“Did you read the report? They’re terrible people. And this is pretty much their home base.” Red sighed. “I know it’s—I’m horrible, but,”

“You’re not.” Graves leaned down so she’d meet his eyes, letting the other hand come up to mirror the one resting on her shoulder. His thumbs traces arcs over the damp fabric. “You’re not horrible, Red.”

The space they stood in seemed smaller and warmer than before. Red couldn’t help but glance over his features, his eyes, the scar on his cheek, his lips.

The moment was tragically broken by more shouting and running in the distance, to which they broke apart as if the other were a hot iron.

“I’ll—I’ll cover you.” Red held up her rifle, trying to shield the blush that warmed her face. They both re-equipped their goggles and mouthpiece.

“Right.” Graves started on the Capstan, the metal creaking awfully.

Red picked off threats as they revealed themselves, until the group began to thin, and Graves finally shoved the door open. Freezing water crashed around their legs, shocking Red’s nerves all over again. They forced their way back into open water, kicking their way to the surface. The air was warmer than the water, a soothing thing to break the surface to. The heli loomed above them, a beacon in the dark night.

Graves spit out his mouthpiece. “Price, deploy ladder!”

“Deploying!”

The ladder whisked through the air before snapping to a halt like a wiry insect.

“You get up first, I’ll help you.”

Red was too cold to protest, allowing Graves to lift her hips up toward the first rung. He handled them gently, as if they were a civilian he was evacuating. Red felt the weight on the ladder of Graves following her, and as soon as she collapsed onto the helicopter floor, she twisted back around and put his arms around her neck to pull him up.

“Hell of a job!” Soap beamed as he pulled up the ladder.

“You could say that.” Red panted.

“You did good work. I want to see those files.” Price crossed his arms.

“In here.” Red pulled off her sealed backpack, setting it aside for Price.

A quiet base was a welcome form of peace after a mission like that, but as much as Red longed to fall into bed after a hot shower, there was something unfinished lingering between her and Graves. He was heading the showers himself when she stopped him.

“Graves?” She called out, walking up to him. He stopped, turning to look at her with those eyes that made her want to collapse to the floor. “Hey.”

“Hey.” She slowed, her hands raising in front of her so she could pick at a withering nail. “So, in the airlock-"

“I am so sorry about that.” Graves interrupted her, gently setting down what he was holding. “It was unprofessional, and—I just, I messed up. I’m sorry.”

He looked more broken than she’d ever seen him.

“It’s okay.” She murmured. His outstretched hand curled into itself, confused.

“What’re you sayin’?”

Hearing his drawl deepen given his exhaustion, Red couldn’t help the smile that pulled at their features. “I love the way you talk.”

Graves sighed at the compliment, stepping closer carefully. “Where’s this comin’ from?”

Her smile resigned into a relaxed expression as she looked to the floor. “I guess I just—I just really like being around you. You’re good at what you do, and you’re kind to me. You could have easily brushed me off the day we met but you didn’t. I haven’t forgotten that.”

“Red.” He whispered. His shoulders moved with how quickly he was drawing breath.

“Tell me to walk away.” Red whispered back. “Tell me to go back to my barracks.”

The air between them was thick enough to swim through. Graves stepped just a bit closer, their noses nearly brushing together.

“I don’t want you to.” He reached around to cradle her back in his hand, the heat piercing through her shirt and closing her throat. His nose nudged against hers.

“Philip..”

He kissed her. Gradually, carefully. It was not a symphony of teeth and tongue, rather a confession. With the hand not on her back, he held the back of her head gently, like they were a precious statue. At some point, Red’s back bumped the wall, causing them to pull back and their eyes to open slowly.

“Darlin’..”

“You’re a good kisser, Graves.” Red breathed. Graves emitted a noise low in his throat before returning to their lips, stepping forward so he was leaning down further than before to kiss them. Her hands held the back of his neck gently, careful to not press her thumbs too firmly into the tender muscles. Graves begrudgingly pulled away to study her face, his lids low on his eyes.

His voice dropped with a gravel quality from speaking so quietly.

“Please do that every day until I die.”

“If you insist.”

So, surfing \o/

I've daydreamed about it since i was a kid, and had this romantic image of it from like kate b*sworth and r*ip girls, and watching televised competitions. And i honestly never imagined i would ever get to try - lessons are so expensive. I was shocked when my friend offered to teach me, and lent me a practice board. He was awesome, so patient, and answered all my silly questions. And hung out there in the water, 'pushing' the board when it was time for me to try and catch the wave (TRY lol i mostly failed).

But unlike a few years ago, when i got onto a dirt bike for the first time and suddenly discovered something i'd been missing my entire life, yesterday didn't quite live up to the daydream.

For one thing i underestimated how hard it would be for me. My friend who was teaching me said i was a natural but at no point did i feel any confidence on the board, it was mostly a blur of panic lol. I was also shamefully freezing - im used to cold, i prefer the cold here in LA, and back in seattle the water was NEVER warm and they used to make us go swimming at like 5am in 60 degree water. I felt like i should have been used to cold water. But no, lol, instead i was so cold i was shivering. And trying to ignore it, but eventually it got so bad that my friend noticed and gently suggested that we take a break (and then i was like no once more, and then face planted, and popped up and said NO ONE MORE that didnt count)

When we finally did make it to shore we sat there for at least an hour - i pulled the wetsuit top off and bundled up in the towel, and i just couldnt get warm, it was ridiculous -_- the chill went down into my bones like it used to during seattle rain. I was so embarrassed. I dont think i stopped shivering until i got home and bundled up in my chair in the pengu*n's jersey - which its been too hot to even think about putting that on for months now.

I do want to try again - i need to work on my arms a bit i think lmao. But i also asked my friend if could just hang out on the beach and watch him and his buddies surf while i brought my sketchbook which, if im REALLY honest, is probably more my speed. When I was younger I probably would have had a better chance at this.

Thats the thing about all these extreme sports - skiing we could never afford when i was a kid, surfing was over 2 hrs away by car and ferry and required all that equipment, i was quite good at wakeboarding but it was my friends who owned the wakeboard and the speedboat so my opportunities were limited by whenever they invited me, and despite dirt bike riding feeling as if it was the song 'daylight' come to life i took one look at the monthly price tag this 'hobby' would cost and quickly assessed it was out of reach lol.

I actually did vaguely ask my friend about that - his passion for surfing. Cause listening to him describe it, and how dedicated he is to it, made me realize its how i feel about art. (my friend was scandalized when i said this was the first time i made it to the beach all summer, and that i hardly spent any time going out in LA, and that i hadn't been to any of the theme parks since moving here - he was like 'what have you been doing?' - and the answer is, sadly, just sitting in my room drawing mostly). I will give up all the 'hobby's in the world in order to afford more time to draw. Wish my dedication showed a bit more in my skill level :/

Jaws the shark!

Lurking in the dark of the depths of sea, one day on a lark

Decides to get rowdy, get real violent

Takes a vay-cay up to Amity Island

Sunshine lotion fun in sun

Blood in the ocean, everybody run

'Cause it's crazy how few fucks this shark gives

He'll eat naked ladies, he'll eat little kids!

Oh, no!

But the one thing keeping the community safe

Is a guy named Brody and his pal Richard Dreyfuss

Jaws don't know that a storm's gonna come

He just wants everyone to be his chum, get it, get it

The mayor don't care if the townsfolk die

He doesn't want to spoil the fourth of July

He's like, "Everyone cool it, and go for swim!"

But holy shit here comes that fin!

Jaws is here

Here is Jaws

(He is a shark without a cause)

He was in a movie you should watch it it's called Jaws

Jaws is here

Here is Jaws

(He is a shark who fights the law)

He was in a movie that everyone saw

Long story short, the beach gets closed

The mayor's like, "Okay, yeah, this blows"

Suddenly Jaws has got a price on his head

But the wrong little shark baby ends up dead

It was Jaws' little brother, now he's pissed

The mayor just shot to the top of his list

He sneaks in his house in the middle of the night

And he eats that fucker in a single bite

Golly

Now the mayor's dead, so Brody's in charge

He knows the real killer is still at large

So he and the Dreyfuss make a decision

They're going on a mission

They're gonna go fishing

For Jaws

A man named Quint lets them use his boat

On the condition that he be the one to cut Jaws' throat

'Cause he was a sailor back in World War II

And Jaws ate his entire crew, woah!

Jaws is here

Here is Jaws

(He is a shark without a cause)

He was in a movie, a movie called Jaws!

Jaws is here

Here is Jaws

(He is a shark who fights the law)

He was in a movie that everyone saw

They're out on the sea, they wait all night

Where could Jaws be? He's no where in sight

Dreyfuss decides to go down in a cage

And Jaws shows up in a full on rage

He tears up the cage like paper in a shredder

While Dreyfuss's makes his wetsuit wetter

He hides behind a rock like cowardly prick

And he doesn't come back until the end of the flick

Brody's like, "We're gonna need a bigger boat"

So they go home and get a bigger boat

The biggest boat that's ever sailed

Gonna kick Jaws' ass or I guess his tail, yeah his tail

But, oh, my shit!

Jaws jumps out and Quint gets bit!

Right in half like a kit-kat bar!

Up in the sky there's a shooting star

That's Quint up in heaven, he's a star now

Brody's angry, he's all like, "Fuck it"

He takes a harpoon and welds it to a rocket

Jaws' last words are, "Woah, respect"

Then he explodes and it's a pretty good effect, yeah!

Jaws is dead

Long live Jaws

(He was a shark without a cause)

He was in a movie, you should watch it, it's called Jaws

JAWS IS DEAD

LONG LIVE JAWS

(He was a shark who fought the law)

He was in a movie that everyone saw

(He was in a movie that everyone saw)

He was in a movie that everyone saw

Jaws is dead

Long live Jaws

(He was a shark without a cause)

He was in a movie, called Jaws

(Jaws is dead)

At the Academy Awards

(Long live Jaws)

He was robbed

(He was a shark without a cause)

Sharks exist in real life, woah

(He was in a movie that everyone saw)

Jaws is dead

Long live jaws

Mastering Drysuit Rafting: Your Guide to Staying Warm and Dry

Rafting through whitewater rapids or gliding along serene rivers is an exhilarating experience, but cold water and unpredictable weather can quickly dampen the fun—literally. Enter the drysuit, a game-changer for rafters seeking warmth and protection in challenging conditions. Unlike wetsuits, which allow some water in, drysuits create a watertight seal, keeping you dry even during unexpected swims. This article explores how to choose, wear, and maintain a drysuit for rafting, ensuring your adventures remain comfortable and safe.

Why Choose a Drysuit for Rafting?

Drysuits are designed to keep water out, making them ideal for cold climates or early-season rafting trips when temperatures drop. They feature waterproof fabrics like Gore-Tex or nylon, paired with latex gaskets at the neck, wrists, and sometimes ankles, to form a barrier against water. For rafters tackling rivers like the Deschutes River, where chilly waters meet stunning scenery, a drysuit ensures you stay focused on the ride, not the cold. Breathability is another perk—modern designs allow moisture from sweat to escape, keeping you dry from the inside out.

Beyond comfort, drysuits offer practical benefits. Their durability stands up to rocky riverbanks and abrasive gear, while adjustable features like neoprene cuffs enhance fit. Whether you’re navigating rapids or planning a multi-day trip, pairing your drysuit with rafting sunglasses for glare protection can elevate your experience, keeping your vision clear and sharp.

Picking the Perfect Drysuit

Choosing a drysuit starts with assessing your rafting environment. For frigid waters, opt for thicker materials with reinforced seams. Lightweight options suit milder climates but may lack the robustness needed for intense rapids. Fit is critical—too tight, and mobility suffers; too loose, and water could seep in. Look for adjustable straps and articulated knees for flexibility during paddling.

Key features to prioritize include waterproof zippers, ample pocket space, and reinforced padding on high-wear areas like the knees and seat. For added safety, pair your drysuit with a well-fitted life vest—essential for any river adventure. High-quality models from brands like Kokatat or NRS often balance cost and performance, with prices ranging from $300 to over $1,000 depending on specs. Researching waterproof technology can guide you to options that match your budget and needs.

Layering Beneath Your Drysuit

A drysuit alone won’t keep you warm—it’s the layers underneath that trap heat. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, like merino wool or synthetic blends, to pull sweat away from your skin. Add an insulating mid-layer, such as fleece, for warmth without bulk. In extreme cold, a thicker insulator like a down jacket (worn under the drysuit) can make a difference, though it’s less common for rafting due to water exposure risks.

Avoid cotton, which retains moisture and chills you fast. For tougher conditions, breathable fabrics enhance comfort by managing heat and sweat—crucial when paddling hard through rapids. Test your layers before hitting the water to ensure they don’t restrict movement or overheat you during active stretches.

Weather and Terrain Considerations

Weather dictates drysuit use more than any other factor. In spring or fall, when snowmelt swells rivers and air temperatures hover near freezing, a drysuit is non-negotiable. Summer rafting might call for lighter gear, but always check water temperatures—rivers fed by glaciers or high altitudes can stay icy year-round. Terrain matters too; rocky put-ins or swift currents increase the chance of a spill, making drysuit protection vital.

For unpredictable trips, like rafting in Yosemite’s rugged landscapes, pack versatile trail gear. A drysuit complements other essentials, keeping you prepared for sudden weather shifts or an unplanned dip. Resources on outdoor safety highlight how preparation can turn a risky outing into a memorable one.

Maintenance and Care Tips

A drysuit is an investment, so proper care extends its life. After each trip, rinse it with fresh water to remove dirt, salt, or river grit—especially around zippers and gaskets. Dry it inside out, away from direct sunlight, to prevent UV damage to the fabric and latex. Lubricate zippers with a manufacturer-recommended wax to maintain their seal.

Inspect gaskets regularly for cracks or wear; small tears can often be patched with repair kits, but major damage may require professional help. Store your drysuit loosely in a cool, dry place—never folded tightly—to avoid creasing the material. Pair it with durable canoeing gloves to protect your hands, ensuring your whole setup lasts season after season.

Final Tips for Drysuit Rafting

Before your next trip, practice donning your drysuit and adjusting its fit—awkward seals can leak mid-rapids. Test it in shallow water to confirm it’s watertight and comfortable. Pair it with accessories like neoprene booties or a helmet for full coverage, especially on technical rivers. Guides from seasoned rafters emphasize that confidence in your gear boosts enjoyment and safety.

Drysuits open up rafting year-round, letting you explore when others stay shore-bound. With the right prep, you’ll conquer cold waters in style—dry, warm, and ready for the next rapid.
