This durable changing mat is one we’ve found incredibly useful for protecting our wetsuits from rocks, gravel, and rough ground—plus it keeps our feet clean while changing. Once we’re done, the mat cinches into a waterproof bag, making it easy to store a wet suit without soaking the rest of our gear. There are plenty of options out there, but this one has been a great balance for us: reliable, durable, watertight, and reasonably priced. Overall, it’s a simple but super practical piece of gear we’re glad to have in the kit for river surfing..
