A light-weight drytop for big whitewater.
Thick, heavy drytops can feel overbuilt for the kind of boating most paddlers actually do. But without a somewhat decent jacket, it only takes one roll or swim to end up soaked and shivering. That’s where the Palm Surge Jacket comes in. It gives you the full dry protection you need — latex neck and wrist gaskets, and a twin waist — in a design that feels lighter and easier to move in. Whether you’re done with borrowing your mate’s old gear, or it’s time to replace a beat-up drytop of your own, the Surge strikes the right balance: reliable dryness for the biggest rapids, in a breathable 2.5-layer fabric that actually feels nice to wear. At Canterbury Kayaking, we recommend it for whitewater paddlers who want to stay warm, dry, and confident — without feeling weighed down.
