HANZ | WATERPROOF SOCKS


WITH CHILLBLOCKER These warm, waterproof and seamless socks promise happy feet for early season portages.

SALUS | CAPRI Salus Capri’s one-size-fits-all design for women offers ample room for curvier figures yet comfortably cinches down on the petite. All the ladies in the Canoeroots office found this PFD cozy and practical. The Capri comes outfitted with a utility lash tab, reflective trim- ming, zippered pockets and fleece-lined hand warming stations. $149 CAD | www.salusmarine.com


THERM-A-REST | TREO CHAIR The Treo offers big chair comfort in a little package. The strong tripod base doubles as a case when not in use, neatly packing away the fabric and poles of the chair. At two pounds it’s not the lightest offering on the market, but it is far more compact than most. Old- timers will love the 13-inch seat height, which makes getting in and out easy. $99 | www.thermarest.com
