Entry for RECREATIONNAL PADDLING – NRS, Riptide

A splash jacket only on paper. On the water, the updated NRS Riptide Jacket delivers advanced waterproof, breathable protection for paddlers willing to gamble on the conditions. Features an articulated hood and half-zip neck for quick adaptability, kayak overskirt and neoprene wrist gaskets for all-day comfort.

  • Made of HyproTex™ 2.5 fabric and factory-taped seams for maximum waterproof protection
  • Punch-through neoprene wrists increase comfort and keep water out
  • Half-zip collar and interior adjustable urethane neck closure double the protection against rain and wind while allowing easy ventilation on calmer days
  • Three adjustment points on the articulated hood provide a customized fit – two bungee cinches at the neck and one on the back of the hood
  • Kayak overskirt with bungee adjustment joins with your spray skirt keeping water out of your cockpit
  • Prominent reflective accents for increased visibility and open-water safety

Why should this product win: The updated Riptide Jacket improves on time-tested success. An updated cut, re-designed hood and neoprene waistband, new reflective detailing, and higher-performance wrist gaskets keep you drier and comfortable on spring or autumn adventures.
