Palm

Tired of wearing old sweaters to navigate battered boats, paddlers Andy Knight and Bob Slee established Palm in 1979 to fulfill the simple need for gear that kept a kayaker dry and wouldn’t fall apart. Today, Palm designs equipment and apparel for paddlers who dare the wildest whitewater, risk the harshest open ocean or cherish the calmest lake. Palm issues an ongoing pledge to all kayakers: "If you paddle... we make it." They back their promise with a range of river-tested equipment that has grown to cover every aspect of paddle sport on a global scale. Whether it’s a paddle, wetsuit, PFD or semi-dry top, Palm provides performance gear you can count on.

Comments:
Greatest semi-dry top I have ever owned. I am a size 10/12, but I got the large. The medium was too small, so I suggest ordering up a size. The color looks great, totally different from the photos. The neck is very comfortable, but the wrist gaskets were pretty tight. I stretched the gaskets with some beer cans -- now I have NO problem getting them on/off. Worth every penny!

Comments:
I've been using this for pool sessions and surf kayaking (ocean waves). It stays considerably warm despite being only a semi-drytop. I like the neoprene neck much better than the adjustable velcro neck on most semi-drytops. It's quite durable like most Palm equipment. This top has been run into the sand several times and doesn't show any wear. Since it is a semi-dry only, water does get in through the neckline during a roll but much less than other tops I've used. It is a very tight fit (great for warmth) but for comfort that makes it difficult to get on and even more difficult to get off. Order the next larger size than you typically would for more comfort. The bright orange safety color is certainly unappealing, but it looks great on! Much better than the picture here demonstrates!

Comments:
This is a great drysuit for whitewater kayaking in cold water. The only drawback is the zipper in back. I have to get a helping hand to zip it on or off. The booties give a completely dry seal and keep my feet toasty and warm.
