Simpler Times Video: NRS Spring 2014 Paddling Apparel Showcase Video

Scroll

What happens when you take pro kayakers Erik Boomer and Tyler Bradt, both just back from major expeditions, and turn them and their girlfriends loose in California with a pile of NRS gear, a cherry Volkswagen camper and a dream catcher from a gas station in Nevada? Parking tickets, for one. They also had a lot of fun and put a lot of miles on the latest NRS apparel, as well as the Westfalia.

Our approach to making clothes is simple: we make them for paddlers. Not for hikers, not for skiers, not for surfers, and not for urban trendsetters. We’ve learned through experience that although a shirt you wear hiking can work in a sea kayak too, it will eventually reveal itself as a fraud, whether it’s a nagging seam, a clumsy button or a fabric that doesn’t dry. We created this video to showcase what we think is the best paddling apparel for sun and immersion protection ever made — NRS H2Core and NRS HydroSkin.
