Layering Guide © Rooster

As the season kicks off, it's essential to have the right layers to stay comfortable while on the water. We know everyone is different, which is why our layering system is designed to give you options to choose layers that work for you, depending on how much you feel the cold.

Our gear is versatile, allowing you to adjust layers according to the temperature and conditions on the day.

THE BASICS:

THE RIGHT KIT IS PERSONAL TO EVERYONE:

THE LAYERING LOWDOWN:

Warming Base Layers

Common misconception: Wearing a rash vest or lycra top under your wetsuit will keep you warm. This is not the case - they are designed to absorb and spread as much water as possible around the garment to cool you down.

Mid Layers

We recommend choosing a Longjohn and Top as they can be worn as separates depending on the conditions. We offer these in a range of thickness to suit the climate you are predominately in and whether you tend to feel the cold.

Spray tops and accessories to change between depending on the conditions. Wavy, guaranteed spray & bitter cold - Pro Aquafleece® Spray Top is your friend. For lighter, less extreme days can't go wrong with the Lightweight 2.5L Spray Top, one our founders (Steve) favourite layers.
