Next, I layer with a thin long sleeve shirt which is mostly what I live in on the ocean, as the lifejacket thereafter usually maintains the perfect temperature for our most common Pacific Northwest coastal days. This usually doesn’t happen until we are off the water and in a protected cove from the wind. Usually a tank top to start … which is really an undershirt which longs for the day where the chill from the ocean will subside and it can stand alone as the sole shirt to feel the full embrace of the sun. If it’s sunny I also have a sun hat and sunglasses easily accessible. I also bring along a buff, which I will wear over my face when there is a wind chill, or as a sunblock from the refracting light from the ocean on those super bright or even overcast days. I keep a warm hat (in Canada we call this a toque) in my lap bag for easy access when it gets cold. For an article on the best clothing materials click here. And before we go any further, the material for the following is never cotton. I have provided my personal clothing packing list below as well. So, let’s break it down by head, body, and feet. I love the quote by Alfred Wainwright who wrote “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”. Over-dressing or under-dressing and simultaneously over-packing or under-packing can impact your whole experience.
