What To Wear Paddle Boarding In 2021 - Red Paddle Co’s Guide Back to blog

Written by Luke Green / October 2021

When talking about what to wear paddle boarding, it all comes down to two things - comfort and practicality. The last thing you want is the wrong choice of gear leaving you feeling uncomfortable and preventing you from enjoying your time out on the water. That’s why we’ve put together the following guide on what to wear paddle boarding, whether you’re heading out in the height of summer or during the cooler winter months. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our top tips and recommendations.

Paddle Board Clothing For Spring & Summer

When deciding what to wear paddle boarding during the spring/ summer months, you want to choose clothing that will keep you cool, whilst ensuring you’re protected from the sun. A pair of board shorts and our performance T-shirt make the perfect combination for keeping your shoulders and back out of the sun, whilst keeping you cool. Made from moisture wicking, Dri-Release™ fabric, our lightweight performance T-shirts prevent odours caused by sweating, whilst providing the highest rating of protection from UV radiation at 50+ UPF.
