PERSONAL ITEMS

We recommend wearing loose fitting, lightweight, light-colored cottons or synthetics (Simms, Patagonia, Columbia, etc.). Some fabrics allow passage of UV rays, so don’t just bring any old shirt – we’ve seen people severely sunburned right through their clothes!. Long pants and sleeves are best to protect from sunburn.
