NRS Orion Jacket
Top of the Range Sea Kayaking and Touring Jacket
The NRS Orion cag has been designed by serious sea kayakers, looking for the ultimate kayaking jacket to keep the wearer warm, dry and comfortable in the most adverse of conditions. Featuring an articulated storm hood, with a huge range of adjustment along with a perforated face shield designed for the wearer to batten down the hatches and keep spray and waves from soaking them. In fairer conditions the high collar and face shield can be zipped open and the hood rolled away to give a more open fit.
Other features that are shared by top-end paddling jackets are latex wrist gaskets to prevent water ingress, twin-waist for use with a spraydeck and large zipped pockets. The material is NRS’s 4 layer Eclipse fabric, which is both waterproof and highly breathable. This fabric is also extremely durable yet soft and flexible to provide unrestricted paddling.
One of the features that sets this jacket aside from others is the Glideskin neck seal. Much more comfortable and durable then latex necks gaskets, especially on saltwater. It is also much easier to remove over wet hair for paddlers with longer hairstyles. This seal also provides a more watertight option, to help prevent water ingress when upside down during rolling, rescue or swimming practice.
Suitable for sea kayaking on all UK coastal waters and trips abroad where staying dry is paramount. But this jacket is equally suited for inland touring and open boating during typical Autumn/Winter conditions. Allowing the wearer to spend more days out on the water in comfort throughout the year.
