A canoe, a paddle, a pair of shorts and a paddling top are about all you need to race outriggers. The simplicity of the sport is a big part of its beauty. But don't let that simplicity fool you, well-designed paddling tops and shorts, no matter how simple, can make the difference between pleasure and pain.

Patagonia known for high performance fabrics and high quality construction, our Capilene® paddling tops, and shorts stand up to the abuse of paddling while helping to keep you cool and comfortable.

Below is a selection of Patagonia® products ideal for outrigger paddling.
Men's, Women's and Kids' Competition Gear

Looking like a team is almost as important as all the hours you've spent training as a team. Team spirit and identification will bring you closer and allow to you to perform at your best. All Capilene® competition shirts are silk screenable, dry faster than any of the competition; are smooth against the skin so they don't chafe; don't stretch when wet, and will keep the sun off all day long.

Our Capilene Silkweight tee is luxuriously comfortable against the skin, offers a degree of sun coverage and is our fastest-wicking, fastest-drying and sleekest base layer.
