Nookie Ti Liner Socks
Keeping the feet warm on the coldest days can be a tough job, but add a set of these to your layers and you will be in for a treat. Thin enough that they are comfortable year round but warm enough to use as extra insulation from the cold Irish winter.
Sola 5L Dry Bag
Any paddler will know, You can NEVER own enough dry bags, perfect for storing things in the back of your boat or for keeping the car dry. This 5L Bag from Sola is a great size for snacks or extra layers to safely stow in the back of the boat.

Peak Neo Pogies
Last but definitely not least these Neo Pogies from Peak are a gift straight from Santa. We've seen him use them on his own reigns during the arctic flights. These are designed to secure over the paddle shaft and slide your hand inside to provide shelter from the outside. Warm and functional paddling during the winter is hard on the hands. These are a great option to keep the hands warm and functional.
