First time, we did class 1 and 2 at the end of the summer. It was hot and everyone was happy to get wet. This weekend I'm going class 4 and it's still cold out. They're forcing us to rent wetsuits as well as helmets and lifejackets, but what should we wear underneath the wetsuits?
I was thinkng on picking up Under Armour shirt and pants... anyone have any experience in this field?
UPDATE:
Went up this past weekend. We picked up under armour pants and similar style nike tops (cheaper than under armour). The water was 35 degrees and 5' - 5.5'... Class 3-4 rapids the whole way. It was great... I'd totally go again in a heartbeat. Wetsuits are amazing. I wasnt cold really at all the entire time. My feet were in the water a lot, but they were just a little cold.
