At the top of every river trip packing list lies an unusual must-have. Depending on your style, or your group’s particular personality or theme, this item could be anything from a formal evening gown to an animated, animal mask to your mom’s favorite exercise outfit from the eighties—onesies encouraged.

Who wears an evening gown on a river trip, you ask?
