Paddle tops - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Adam12 · 10-30-2010, 10:24 AM

I'm having a hard time finding what I need. Besides a full on dry top is there a top out there that seals @ the wrists that is labled as a splash top. Looking for something lightweight maybe even with a liner to elimainate the cling. I'm tired of water running down my sleeve onto my chest or back.

We've got a few options. They all seal around the wrists and neck. Key for surf launching.

The first 2 won't seal out water from the wrists. The third looks like the ticket. How about one with a hood?

x2 - but I didnt get the one with the hood.

All 3 of those will seal at the wrists. I paddle in the Endurance and it seals just fine.

If you want a Hood youll want the Hooded Splashdown, They are about 100.00 and Rik at the KM store stocks them (Mission Bay will likely soon as well).

I use a stohlquist (sp!) paddle jacket, got it from Rik@OEX

This

lots of useful pockets to, removable hood.

The Endurance doesn't seal at the wrists, it's the one I have now, it sucks. I'll look into the Stohlquist or this one http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.a...m_term=fr_2504
