Sawyer Oars

Sawyer Square Top V-Lam Oar

V-Lam, or V-laminated construction, involves gluing layers of wood together in a specific pattern. This method creates a strong yet flexible oar that can bend while maintaining its sturdiness. The flexibility allows for more effective paddling, making it easier to navigate through water, especially in challenging conditions.

Dynel is a synthetic fiber that adds strength and durability to the oar's blade. Its resistance to wear and tear makes it ideal for rough water conditions, such as those encountered in rafting. This means your oar will last longer and perform better, even in demanding environments.

Kevlar is known for its exceptional strength and abrasion resistance. When used in the oar's blade, it helps the oar withstand impacts and stresses that occur during whitewater rafting. This added durability ensures that your oar remains reliable and effective, even in the toughest conditions.

Carbon X-Weave refers to a unique cross-pattern of carbon fiber reinforcement that enhances the oar's strength and rigidity while keeping it lightweight. This design improves the oar's performance, making it more efficient for paddling, which is crucial for both recreational and competitive water sports.

The Square Top Design provides a counter-balance effect, which helps paddlers maintain better control and stability while rowing. This ergonomic feature allows for a more comfortable grip, making it easier to use the oar for extended periods without fatigue, enhancing your overall paddling experience.

The combination of V-Lam construction, Dynel and Kevlar materials, Carbon X-Weave reinforcement, and the Square Top Design all work together to create a lightweight, durable, and efficient oar. These features ensure that you can paddle effectively, navigate challenging waters, and enjoy a more comfortable and controlled experience while rafting.
