The forces involved in moving water — hydraulics, eddies, strainers, and the raw power of a river in flood — demand gear that's been specifically designed and tested for these conditions. A whitewater setup isn't just a collection of products; it's a system where every component has been chosen for its performance in dynamic, high-consequence environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Whitewater Setup collection draws on the experience of river runners on some of the world's most demanding whitewater: the Zambezi's Batoka Gorge in Zambia, the Futaleufú in Chilean Patagonia, the Ottawa River in Canada, and the Grand Canyon's Colorado River. These are rivers where the right gear is the foundation of a safe and successful descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Whitewater Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhitewater PFD\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-buoyancy, impact-resistant flotation rated for river running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry bags\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded-seam bags for gear that must stay dry through swims and capsizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater shoes or booties\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grip and protection for river rock and portages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater gloves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold-water hand protection for mountain rivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelmet\u003c\/strong\u003e: Essential for Class III+ whitewater — not included in this collection but required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hydro-rove-whitewater-pfds\"\u003eWhitewater PFDs\u003c\/a\u003e for the right flotation, and add \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hydro-rove-dry-bags\"\u003edry bags\u003c\/a\u003e sized for your boat's storage capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/omnirove.com\/collections\/hydro-rove-whitewater-setup.oembed","provider":"OmniRove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
