New Product Announcement
Clearwater Mesh Back PFD by NRS
 Disappointed with how life jackets get in the way of your boat's seat back? The NRS Clearwater fixes that problem. The mesh section in the lower back lets you rest comfortably against the seat and adds good ventilation in warm weather. The soft PVC-free foam in the front and upper back molds to your body, while giving a generous 16.5 pounds of flotation. Two large pockets provide plenty of handy storage and lots of reflective tape keeps you visible in low light. Comfort and unrestricted paddling - the Clearwater delivers.

In The Same Boat
Two years ago Tamia bought a pair of NEOS Trekker overshoes. As a longtime fan of traditional rubber wellies, she wasn't sure she'd like high-tech fabric boots. But the era of the cheap wellie had ended. And baby definitely needed new shoes. So she took the plunge. A lot of water has flowed over the trail since them, of course. How have Tamia's NEOS Trekkers stood the test of time? You'll have to read this week's In the Same Boat to find out.

Product Review Spotlight
Temagami Canoe by Swift
In the water the canoe is a dream. Properly waxed the hull cuts through the water with ease. A broad side wind has a tendency to push the canoe around a bit, but that may be due to having 5 people on board catching the wind as well. For fishing, the canoe offers a steady responsive canoe to work from... Rating: 9 of 10 by Scott Z.
