A serious sea kayaking jacket for exposed conditions.
If you’re heading out in rough weather, or gearing up for a multi-day trip, a basic splash jacket just won’t cut it. Long days on exposed coastlines or open water can bring wind, rain, and cold spray — and when that happens, staying dry isn’t just about comfort, it’s about safety. The Palm Chinook Jacket is built for exactly this kind of paddling. It features waterproof, breathable XP 2.5-layer fabric, latex wrist gaskets, a twin waist, and a zip-off storm hood. The ExoSkin neck seal is soft but secure, backed by a fleece-lined collar that’s comfortable all day. Whether you’re paddling across a harbour or exploring a remote stretch of coastline, this is the sea kayaking jacket we recommend at Canterbury Kayaking — because it’s the one that holds up when the southerly rolls in and staying dry really matters.
