Spring is in full swing and lots of Canyoneers are getting out and hitting the canyons. The mountains in San Juan County are packed with snow and are going to have a nice run off this spring, but haven't seemed to affect the water levels to badly in the canyons of Cedar Mesa. The weather is warming up however water is still chilly and wet suits are a great barrier to make the canyon experience that much more enjoyable. Let's face it, none of us like being cold in the canyons. So Grab that protection and get on out there to enjoy some early season canyon weather.
With the new year in good start, we have some wonderful things coming in 2008. We have our ever popular Technical Canyoneering Courses which began in March. Spots are fill up fast, we encourage you to book your spot soon to ensure availability. We also have Dave Black's Book "Canyoneering" which is Now in Stock. This is a great read with lots of technical tips and how to's.
We are going to forever encourage you to look at the new SPOT PLB. My wife and I have already enjoyed using ours to keep track of me when I am in the outdoors. I have sent it with my wife when she leaves out of town, and have taken mine on road trips to the city. It offers peace of mind by allowing you to check in periodically during canyoneering trips, and allowing others to know when you are safely out of the canyon(s). Wives can track their husbands, moms can check on kids, or friends can keep up with friends to ensure everyone is safe and located.
With as much water as there is potential to be in the canyons this year, another great item to look into is the HyperFlex Wet Suits. Canyoneering can be cold at times and cause hypothermia if not properly protected. HyperFlex wet suits are constructed with a looser fit than dive suits to allow the canyoneer to move more freely. It has sealed seams to keep the warm water in and the colder water out.
Imlay Canyon Gear has made a few changes coming this year, one really exciting addition is the return of the Mystery Pack. This pack has been redesigned and upgraded and is the perfect size for day trips and smaller Canyoneers in the family. We will be adding many more items this year to our store line up so keep in touch and continue to watch our growing line. We are here to serve you as Canyoneers and outdoor enthusiasts. Let us know if you are looking for something specific so we can look into stocking the item(s) for you.
Don't forget to take advantage of those Frequent Shopper Rewards earned during the season. If you would like to know more about this program, click the link or check the link at the bottom of the page for more information.
Shipping has changed slightly. We have our standard flat rate UPS Ground shipping for all orders under $100.00. Any order now over $100.00 is Free Shipping via UPS Ground.
As always, we love to hear from you. We want your canyoneering adventures to be spectacular. Tell us how we can serve you. Stop by our Blog to leave us some feedback, or shoot us an e-mail.
