Cold water and tough conditions are part of the journey when you’re pushing your paddling to the next level — but getting totally soaked shouldn’t be. That’s why we highly recommend the Palm Zenith Jacket. It’s the driest, most durable jacket we offer for Coast to Coast training. With latex wrist gaskets, a GlideSkin neck that seals tighter than standard neoprene, and a rugged XP 2.5-layer shell built for repeated use, it’s ideal for Grade 2 Courses, early spring Gorge trips, or as your emergency race-day layer. The twin waist and chest pocket add function without bulk, and it packs down well enough to carry when needed. It’s the jacket Canterbury Kayaking founder Sam Milne wears himself — because when conditions turn bad, this is the one he trusts to stay warm, dry, and comfortable.

Great comfy top. Highly recommend.
Awesome, amazing for winter paddling
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!
The semi-dry jacket kept me dry during multiple rolls and spills. Well made.
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.
