I use these socks primarily for kayaking. Worn inside various low profile kayaking footwear, often neoprene, these socks are performing nicely. They keep my feet from drowning in perspiration when out of the water and keep the chill off when in the water. Fit well and don't bunch up when swimming. While in the backcountry, these socks are easily and quickly washed and dried.

I expect I'll be adding more of these to my sock drawer!

I confess to being a big fan of Werner paddles and the Corryvrecken has not changed that opinion.

It’s a big blade but not, as often claimed, only for the muscle bound paddler. (I'm a 50-year-old, 6'2" skinny dude!) It’s a great blade for steering and corrective strokes when paddling rockered sea kayaks that are not hard trackers.

My boats are 16-18' long and 20-21.5" at the beam. Both are playful short trippers that require mild correction to maintain a straight path. The Corryvrecken achieves this admirably. Rough water is where this paddle really shines. Bracing strokes offer a lot of support with the big blades.

The big blade is also nice for a paddler that has a slower cadence when tripping as it moves a lot of water. Wind can be an issue with any blade having this much surface area but then the wind also gives us such wonderfully textured waters to play in, eh?!

For river use, the Corryvrecken is great as the big blades give a nice grip for directional changes in the currents.

The adjustable ferrule is well done. Mine was a bit tight at first but quickly broke in and functions very well.

All in all, the Corryvrecken is a very nice paddle for all around use in a variety of kayaks for the reasonably fit paddler.

Service was excellent as usual. The first Corryvrecken I ordered was too short and I experienced no difficulties with their return process.
Good products from a good supplier.

Pleasant waters to ya.
