Good Jacket but runs small
Needed size larger than normal. The hood is great! A little crinckly material, but good for the price.

good jacket, needed next size up
I got this for my dad who is an avid kayaker. He loved the jacket, but the fit was snug on him and I needed to return it for the next size up. The difficulty was mostly getting in and out, but overall he loved the jacket.

Noisy but solid
I used this jacket on a winter trip down the Grand Canyon and wore it for 21 days straight. The only complaints I have are the crinkly noise it makes due to the stiffness of the material, and the wrist & neck gaskets. The neck gasket is rather awkward and can let in a little water if you get fully over topped by a wave and the wrist gaskets are about the same. The hood is great since it can go over a standard helmet. Great jacket for the price!

Good job rafting in Grand Canyon
I bought the splash top and pants for an 8 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. The top was a little awkward to get into but the outfit did a great job!
