"Mr. Hubbard says. Cotton doesn't dry as quickly as some other
materials, and the rafter can get cold. An old hat, sunglasses, a wool
or fleece top, a waterproof jacket, quick-drying shorts, waterproof or
synthetic pants, wool or fleece socks and old sneakers are appropriate.
On a sunny day, rafters should wear an old hat, sunglasses, a
bathing suit, a T-shirt, a waterproof jacket, quick-drying shorts and
old sneakers or sport sandals, he says.
In addition, participants should bring sunscreen and a water bottle
for the trip and make sure they have a change of clothes and towel for
afterward. "


Hmmm, don't know about that "rafters should wear an old hat" part...
How about a well-fitting helmet with maybe a sun visor instead?
