Extrasport X-Treme Armor Spash Jacket (For Men)

I bought the men's because the women's were sold out in my size (small). Unfortunately, the men's small was much too big for me so I didn't paddle in it. The design appears very functional and well constructed. Men's gear often has the advantage of better materials, design and bigger and/or more pockets. Will look for more from this maker, but will have to look for women's due to sizing issue. Hansome color combo.

This is a great jacket for paddling in moderately cold water and cold weather. It does a great job keeping out wind and splashing water. A small amount seeps in around the neck and wrists if you are upside-down in your kayak, though it won't be enough to bother you if you have a reliable roll. If you swim, however, this jacket is likely to take on some water. As long as you realize that this is a splash jacket and not a dry top (which run 3-4 times the price), you'll be very happy.

good price

I wear a women's size medium. The men's small fits me perfectly except the sleeves are a little long for me. I haven't tested it out in the waters yet.

I have the dry top version as well so I know what to expect - lighweight and comfortable but not so long lasting compared to other heavier duty tops - the material is thinner. I like the face that this top has ventilation zips.
