How to Dress for Comfort

 

Ace Adventure run water based activities all year round as Scotland has in recent years experienced milder winters and wetter summers.  In saying that the winter can have below zero temperatures meaning activities such as Canyoning and River Bugs that require full immersion in water are not run over the colder months of the year.

On this page you will find information on what Ace Adventure provide during colder months for the water based activities such as White Water Rafting to help make sure you are dressed for the conditions and going to be comfortable.  To ensure you are toasty warm please take note of what we recommend you to bring along in addition to what we supply.
