We all know how visibility is paramount in our sport, particularly on our river with blind corners & bridges. It is always a good idea to wear hi-viz or very bright clothing while rowing & especially if you are in a single or bow seat of any boat.
So introducing the WRC hi-viz training tops! There are 6 options! There are unisex & womens versions of short sleeve, long sleeve & tank tops, all of which are performance material. The short sleeve & long sleeve versions are also Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) 50, so great for extra sun protection! The short & long sleeve versions are all in hi-viz yellow. The unisex tank is hi-viz green & the women’s tank is hi-viz pink. There are sizes ranging from XS – XXXXXL, so something for everyone!
This being run as a group order through Custom Ink, you can order as many items as you’d like, pay right on the website, and will have the option of having them sent to me for club delivery for free or for $9.95 they will be mailed directly to you once the order window has closed.
