The OAR uniform is a black unisuit with white and red stripes on the sides and the OAR logo on the front or a black tank (with stripes and logo) and plain black tights or shorts.

Dress for the Weather
Junior rowers should come to practice ready to workout, no matter what the weather. (Masters should also, but they're more like herding cats...) If the water is nice, the practice is likely to be on-the-water. If the weather is inclement, then a workout on land - running or lifting, circuit training, or ergometer work - is more likely.

For each practice, rowers should:
1. Wear comfortable athletic clothes to work out in. Avoid cotton on cool or wet or windy days. Dress in layers that work well during cold weather.
2. Avoid baggy shirt or shorts that could get stuck in the seat tracks. Spandex tight-fitting warm base layers are widely used and available in all sizes from Alpine Experience.
3. Wear athletic shoes and socks. Running is a routine part of training for rowing.
4. Gloves are not used during any on-the-water rowing practices but are useful for land workouts in cold weather.
5. Bring a water bottle to practice.
6. Practices occur even in inclement weather. When the weather conditions are unsafe for rowing, coaches will run a land training workout. Plan to dress appropriately for the weather every day.
7. You might be asked to ride in the coache's launch or even cox. This can be chilly, even on a warm day, so make a point to dress more warmly in layers you can take off if you heat up.

Uniform Orders
At the discretion of the coach and parents, OAR may choose to order a less expensive tank top or a team sweatshirt, or similar team dress, for the Junior Rowers. Purchase of team dress or uniform is the responsibility of the rower or parents.
OAR orders uniforms and gear at least twice a year, typically at the start of the spring and fall rowing seasons. We consolidate orders to save on shipping and handling costs and to qualify for volume discounts.

Uniforms and other technical rowing gear are ordered from www.jlracing.com. Sweatshirts, tee-shirts and the like are ordered locally, from Color Graphics. Gear is priced at our average cost, except for hats which are marked up slightly as a fundraiser for the club.

Click here for the uniform and gear order form.

Members (masters) can contact Leo Healey (oar.master.sweep@gmail.com) for questions about uniforms orders. The form can be left in the boathouse in the "gear" envelope on the sign out table.

Junior rowers can give completed order forms to their coach.
