The NRS Rio Splash Top is the ideal fleet paddle jacket - durable, basic, well priced, and colour coded by size.

Durable: We have an outfitter who puts his paddle jackets through an oven every night to dry.  After an entire season of this harsh treatment - not to mention deet and sunscreen during daily use - all that needed attention was the wrist tightener strap needed to be resewn on many of the jackets.  The rest of the jacket was holding up incredibly well.

Basic: They are just stylish enough to not be silly, but they don't often go missing out of school fleets!  Most schools go for the blue jackets as they look nicer for longer, most outfitters go for yellow, as they are brighter on the water.  The fabric isn't breathable, which is fine for kids, and will do the job well enough for adult on a day trip.  This is part of the durability of the fabric in an outfitter situation.  The paddling jackets come in a basic cut which results in more people of different shapes fitting easily into the same jacket - versatile fleet sizing.

Well Priced: At $79.95 they are hard to beat for value!  Outfitters (commercial companies who use kayaking gear - from tour companies to hotel chains) receive 15% discount on all gear, making this jacket even cheaper to purchase your fleet.  Schools and government agencies also receive a good discount on fleet gear - contact us to set up an account - see contact details below.

Colour Coded by Size: The inner neck of the paddle jackets have different coloured neoprene dependent on the size of the jacket.  This makes it easy to find a large in a pile of jackets - just look for the correct colour neoprene. 

The NRS Rio splash top is manufactured from durable urethane-coated 210-denier nylon oxford and is generously cut to allow easy layering underneath for extra warmth.

It features factory-taped seams and adjustable neoprene neck and wrist closures help keep water out and comfort up.

The shock-cord waist fastens with a barrel-lock.
