If you’re a multisport paddler who doesn’t normally wear a jacket, but still needs to carry one to meet race rules, the Rasdex Classic Jacket is exactly what you want in your drybag. It’s ultralight, ultra-packable, and race compliant. Whether you’re competing in the Longest Day or spend most of your time paddling on warmer North Island runs, this jacket gives you just enough protection to meet race requirements and get you out of trouble if you’re having a bad day. The minimalist design includes a slim draw-cord waist, velcro adjustable wrist seals, and the collar that opens up wide to dump excess heat. At Canterbury Kayaking, this is the jacket we recommend when every gram counts, but safety — and race compliance — still matter.
- Paddling-specific design allows full arm and torso movement
