A serious sea kayaking jacket for exposed conditions — in a women’s-specific fit.
If you’re paddling in rough weather or planning a multi-day coastal mission, a splash jacket isn’t going to cut it. Wind, spray, and sudden weather changes are all part of the ocean — and if you’re not properly layered, getting soaked will be just the start of your problems. The women’s Palm Chinook Jacket is purpose-built for serious sea kayaking, with a tailored fit and all the same features as the original: waterproof XP 2.5-layer fabric, latex wrist gaskets, a twin waist, and a zip-off helmet-compatible hood. The soft ExoSkin neck seal and fleece-lined collar keep things comfortable, even on long crossings. At Canterbury Kayaking, this is the jacket we recommend when your route takes you beyond the harbour — because it’s the one that holds up when conditions get tough, and staying dry really matters.
