Features
- HyproTex 2.5 fabric with factory-taped seams: gives breathable, waterproof protection in a lightweight 40-denier, 2.5-layer shell.
- Half-zip collar over an adjustable urethane neck closure: doubles the protection from wind and rain and vents quickly on calmer days.
- Articulated hood with three adjustment points and a flexible bill: fits closely and sheds drips.
- Punch-through GlideSkin neoprene wrist gaskets: stay comfortable all day while keeping most water out.
- Coated nylon inner tunnel: mates with a sprayskirt to keep a kayak cockpit dry.
- Double-pull hook-and-loop neoprene waist: cinches for a custom fit.
- Prominent reflective accents and two splashproof sleeve pockets: add visibility on open water and stow small essentials.

Questions about the Riptide Splash Jacket
Is the Riptide Splash Jacket a dry top?
No. It is waterproof, breathable HyproTex 2.5, but it seals with neoprene wrist gaskets and an adjustable neck closure rather than latex, so it keeps most water out rather than all of it.
Does it work with a kayak sprayskirt?
Yes. The coated nylon inner tunnel mates with your sprayskirt to keep the cockpit dry.
Is it reflective?
Yes. It has prominent reflective accents for visibility on open water.
How do I choose a size?
Use your chest, waist and hip measurements with the chart. A size L fits a 38–39 inch chest with a 33 inch sleeve. See more water rescue PPE.
Is the Riptide Splash Jacket flame resistant?
No. It is HyproTex 2.5 splash wear for water rescue and paddling. It is not flame resistant, is not structural firefighting PPE and is not NFPA 1971 certified.
