The Best River Rafting Gear Under $50
There’s a certain irony to how much gear it takes to head into the wilderness and “live off the grid” on a river rafting trip. Once you leave the boat ramp, you’re responsible for every basic need, from shelter and food to safety, sanitation, and whatever the weather throws at you.
That’s why river trips have a reputation for being expensive. Between specialized safety gear, camping equipment, and river-specific essentials, the costs add up quickly, whether you’re heading out for a weekend float or a 21-day bucket-list expedition through the Grand Canyon. Some items are worth the investment, like a well-fitting PFD or a comfortable sleeping setup like this cot I will never again go without.
The good news is that not every piece of gear has to be expensive. In fact, some of the most useful items cost less than dinner in town. These are the inexpensive pieces of gear that solve annoying little problems, keep you more comfortable, and quietly make life on the river a whole lot better.
