What to Wear to Crew Practice

Be ready for the weather!

Rowing takes place in all kinds of weather and through multiple seasons, so dressing in the right gear is critical for your performance, comfort, and safety.

Tips for New Rowers

• Layers of technical fabrics work best. Avoid cotton. Wool is also great in cold weather.

• Wear high-vis and bright colors for safety. We share the lake with speed boats and other crews.

• Pack a warm change of clothes and a snack to leave at the boathouse. You can end up in the water unexpectedly, or just get really wet from splashing or the weather.

• Fitted tops and jackets are better than loose-fitting garments that might catch your oar handle(s) or get caught in the tracks of your sliding seat.

Where to Shop

You don't have to shop for specialty rowing gear, but here are a few sites that are popular with rowers:

776 B.C.
Regatta Sport
JL Racing
Boathouse
Evupre

You can also find great buys on technical clothing on Amazon, Old Navy, and at other big box retailers.

Optional Gear

Some athletes like to invest in these items, but they aren't necessary to purchase:

• rowing gloves
• pogies - to keep hands warm in very cold weather
• rowing computer - tracks your stroke rate, meters, and time during workouts
• safety lights - the team also provides lights for crews to use in low-light conditions
