We recommend a few products that just work. As you can see we choose just a handful of gear which we believe is stong, durable and the best paddling gear you can get. Sure we can get in other gear from these brands, but this is the stuff that we recomend. This is why we do not deal with some brands that we know are not safe or durable. No need to go searching all over the internet or in stores, we have hand tested each and every one of these products on the water and have come up with a list of the best gear for your boating.
