Solid IK

Aire Force Inflatable Kayak

Rating for this product: 4 February 2, 2009

This is about as close to a hardshell as you are going to get in an IK in terms of responsiveness, speed and weight. The thigh straps and foot pedals are easy to manange and hold you quite well. When I was IK'ing, I always grabbed these first from the outdoor program's rack.

Rating for this product: 5 February 2, 2009

Simple, easy to use PFD that is comfortable for the long days on the river. It has a great range of motion and is super easy to get on, even with the helmet already on. Love it!

Best ski socks, period.

SmartWool Ski Sock - Medium

Rating for this product: 5 February 2, 2009

Perfect balance of cushy, warmth and lightness. You feet get blood and stay dry and warm. It is a perfect compliment to your gear to say that you don't need to think about it, and that's what these achieve.

Stohlquist Wedge-e Life Jacket

January 30, 2009

These life jackets are very adjustable, but also have quite a bit of padding making it tighter. I'd go for a large if I were you. I'm only 130 pounds and 5'5" and I wear a medium. Comment #2: I'm 6' and 145, and I wear a large, though the straps are pretty close to being out of range when I'm not wearing much layering in the summer.

Stay on top of these or they will reach out and whip you. That said, it's one hell of a ride when you lean in and take charge. :)
