Some jackets meet the Coast to Coast rules — but leave paddlers wet, cold, and uncomfortable when it matters most. We’ve seen it too many times on Grade 2 Courses and Waimakariri training runs: splash tops that tick the box but don’t do the job. That’s why we recommend the Palm Vertigo Jacket. It’s lightweight and breathable, but features latex wrist gaskets and a soft neoprene neck to keep water out — even in a swim. The twin waist seals securely with your spray skirt, and the lighter fabric packs down easily into your race-day drybag. If you want one jacket that’s warm enough for the Gorge, comfortable for long sessions, and race-legal for the Coast to Coast, this is it. It’s our most popular jacket for good reason — it keeps paddlers dry without slowing them down.

Waterproof, lightweight XP 2-layer fabric packs down small
3D cut for unrestricted freedom of movement
Latex wrist gaskets keep sleeves dry
