- Don’t Wear Jeans: Truckee River Rafting does not recommend anyone to wear jeans while rafting because they become very heavy when wet. Also, they are hard to maneuver in while underwater and take a long time to dry. People should also avoid wearing cotton, which quickly absorbs and retains water. Wear clothing made of nylon, polyester, fleece or wool because they insulate heat and dry quickly.
