SANTA MARIA RIVER TRIP GREAR

​CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
Water temperatures are cool (some times warm) in late February in the daytime. Air temps are in the 80's .Rain is rare. At least a farmer john type wet suit (with legs) is required. Even though there is a slim chance you won’t need it. River shoes are a problem. Teva sandals often don't work well on the river because they get pea gravel inside/underneath and need to be cleaned out.

I like light weight ,high top, jungle boots which can be worn wet all day-- or sturdy neoprene river shoes with good soles.
Bring Teva's for camp
Picture
Left to right - jungle boots , farmer john, life jacket, tied on hat ( I bring a helmet), sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves for pushing off rocks
