NRS - Womens Riptide Splash Jacket

For paddlers who live for open water, coastal conditions demand gear that can keep up with whatever the ocean throws at you.

The NRS Women's Riptide Splash Jacket steps up from a standard paddle jacket with features built specifically for sea kayaking and surf zone paddling. The shell is HyproTex 2.5, breathable, waterproof, and PFAS-free with factory-taped seams throughout. A coated nylon inner tunnel mates with your sprayskirt to keep your cockpit dry when things get serious, and punch-through neoprene wrist gaskets keep most water out at the cuffs while staying comfortable through a full day of paddling. The double-pull hook-and-loop neoprene waist cinches tight for a custom fit over your skirt.

Ventilation and protection work together here rather than against each other. The half-zip collar pairs with an interior adjustable urethane neck closure, giving you a sealed barrier against wind and rain when you need it and easy venting when you don't. The articulated hood has three adjustment points including two bungee cinches at the neck and one at the back, plus a flexible bill to shed drips. The Paddler's Cut keeps torso rotation unrestricted and leaves room for layering underneath on cold Canadian coastal mornings.

Prominent reflective accents improve visibility in low light and open-water crossings, and two splashproof zippered sleeve pockets handle the small essentials.
