For a look at some of the rigid knives being discussed, along with the KISS folding (lashtab mount) and "Stiff" knives, check out the Wyoming River Raiders web site, http://www.riverraiders.com/accessories/knives/knives.html. Their latest catalog (1-800-247-6068) has, on the same page as the knives, a neat looking "Head Gasket" laminated fleece (from a discussion with the shop, it's probably Malden Mills' Thermal Stretch material, discussed a lot on this site) hood. Looks like it would be very close fitting around the neck (eliminating the floppiness of using a diver's hood), has some perforation at the ears to allow the wearer to hear oncoming freighters, and seems like a pretty good deal at $24. Got mine coming --- will review if there's interest. (Currently on backorder, usually a good sign.) Yadah, yadahhhh, no affilitation, etc. Jack *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Oct 21 1999 - 05:33:57 PDT
