The best jacket to get kids hooked on paddling.
Taking kids paddling should be about fun — not fighting with wetsuits, chafing, or freezing cold kiddos. That’s why we recommend in the Palm Rocket Jacket for family adventures. It’s easy to put on and take off, far more comfortable than a wetsuit, and gives kids the protection they need to stay warm and happy on the river. Whether you’re planning a rafting trip or helping them take their first paddle strokes, this is the jacket that keeps the adventure fun. It’s made from waterproof fabric with soft seals at the neck and wrists to help hold in warmth, without the restriction of a full drytop. And for adults who find the Palm Vertigo too big — the Rocket in kids’ XL fits like an adult XS. At Canterbury Kayaking, this is the jacket we trust to help the next generation fall in love with paddling.
