Duke Paddle Jacket

The eXhaust 2.5-layer fabric technology features a waterproof and breathable membrane sandwiched between two layers of material, plus an outer protective layer. This design keeps water out while allowing sweat to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during active use, whether you're paddling or hiking.

The Cinch System allows you to adjust the fit of the jacket at the waist, creating a tighter seal. This prevents water from entering the jacket while you're paddling and enhances comfort by keeping the jacket in place during movement. It's essential for maintaining warmth and dryness in wet conditions.

Gaskets are latex seals around the neck and cuffs of the jacket that create a watertight barrier. They fit snugly against your skin, preventing water from entering through these openings. This feature is particularly important for activities like paddling in rough waters, ensuring you stay dry and protected.

The double tunnel design allows the jacket to be worn over a spray skirt, creating a more effective seal between the jacket and the skirt. This feature is crucial for paddlers, as it reduces the chances of water getting in, keeping you dry while navigating through waves or splashes.

Fully sealed seams mean that the stitching is covered with waterproof tape or sealant, preventing water from seeping through needle holes. This construction method is vital for maintaining the jacket's waterproof integrity, especially in wet conditions, ensuring you stay dry during your outdoor adventures.

Absolutely! While the jacket is designed with paddling in mind, its waterproof and breathable features, along with the adjustable fit and gaskets, make it suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and even skiing. It's a versatile choice for anyone looking to stay dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
