I was reluctant to spend the money on the more expensive jacket. But after trying the lesser, this has a much more comfortable neck seal (no rubbing seam). This has performed very well so far!

Recommended Gear

The semi-dry jacket kept me dry during multiple rolls and spills. Well made.

Don’t get anything else.

I was considering getting a semi-dry or splash jacket, but I am so glad I chose this product instead. It’s totally dry, which has been so good considering how cold the water is and can be. For training, it has kept me warm (and happy) and it seems to be really well made and incredibly durable.

It will be my emergency jacket for the Coast 2 Coast. And I am very happy to have it, rather than something less dry.

Warm and Dry

Went for plenty of early spring swims and was toasty warm the whole time. No water in through the sleeves or the neck.
Highly recommend

Fantastic Jacket!

I was tossing up between the vertigo and zenith jackets - ended up going with the zenith and I'm so happy I did. I stayed warm and dry throughout the grade 2 course despite the river being extremely cold (including lots of time spent upside down learning to roll). I also found the neck gasket on the zenith to be really comfortable. If you can spend a bit more to get the zenith, do it -- you won't regret it!

Great Jacket

Kept me warm and dry despite being a complete beginner on my grade 2 course. Lots of time testing the waterproofing.
