Wind and splash protection, without overheating.
For many multisport paddlers, having to wear a jacket can feel like a sweaty nuisance — especially in summer. But going without can leave you shivering when the wind picks up. The Rasdex Classic Short-Sleeved Jacket is the perfect solution. It gives you just the right amount of protection where it matters most: your core. With no sleeves to fill up with water or flap in the breeze, it’s ideal for river racing, flatwater training, and fine days on the Waimak. Paired with a light thermal, it keeps you warm enough without overheating. It’s the jacket Canterbury Kayaking’s lead guide Sam Milne wears for most of his own multisport paddling — with a long-sleeved jacket in his drybag for emergencies and race compliance. Even if you‘ve always hated paddling in a jacket, this short-sleeved layer from Rasdex will be the one that changes your mind.
