Lotus Designs

Lotus Designs is a kayaking-based subsidiary of Patagonia that offers performance-level gear for kayakers, including stretch dry tops and semi-dry tops with long and short sleeve options. Lotus Designs paddle tops have the modern double-tunnel dry top design with a drawstring inner skirt; additionally, Lotus Designs adds advanced waterproof protection with layered, extremely breathable H2No® fabric, taped seams and waterproof Deluge® finishes. The StretchCoat® collar and watertight sleeve gaskets common to most of Lotus Designs’ kayak tops are also there to keep water from entering next to your skin. In addition to paddle tops, Lotus Designs produces PFDs (life vests) designed specifically for paddling ease in a kayak or canoe.

Lotus Design makes great products and this is no exception. The soft liner is a great touch. The arm and neck openings are snug but comfy. The fit is as advertised. I haven't had a chance to paddle in it (it's still drytop season), but look forward to it!

Difficult to get in and out. Puzzled to real utility of this item. Not what I thought it was and really not what I needed. Lots of other good stuff from Sierra Trading Post to get. Will return this one, however.

Lotus, who cares if it's an '06?

Cons:
None

Comments:
For a nice change, you had these in size small, so I grabbed the EKG shortie and this. I'll have to have the sleeves shortened, but that's no biggie. My long sleeve NRS jacket started peeling at the neck after only two years. I have Lotus PFD's and jackets and they last a long time. I would expect men to order up a size or stangle getting the jacket on and off.
