Throw bags should be replaced every few years, ideally, a kayaker has multiple that live in his or her boat.

Solid Mesh Duffel Bag
(Filled with other cool accessories? :) )
NRS Purest or Down River Large Duffel. Why? Kayakers need a bag to store gear in that also offers ventilation. Wet gear in a standard duffel gets gross while the mesh options allow your gear to breathe as you transport it. We recommend at least 60L-90L of bag to fit a normal kayakers gear setup.
What to fill it with? River guide maps, nose + ear plugs, a rescue knife, cam straps, river games, oh my!
Hydroskin Layers
For the days that you *almost* want to go skin to the wind, NRS hydroskin layers offer added warmth and protection from rocks while still providing a thin flexible material that won’t restrict motion.
