Paladin Air4.X is top of a line men’s dry jacket to keep you warm and dry while pushing the boundaries of white water kayaking even in the “off season”. It is the newest evolutionary step in the Paladin line.
+ Strategically positioned seams create a great fit that allows free range of motion
+ Latex wrist and neck gaskets are protected by longer neoprene cuffs and high neoprene collar
+ Ergonomically designed for paddlers
+ A double tunnel waistband to provide a tight seal against your sprayskirt
+ Equipped with our “Double Pull” system where pulling forward on the waist tabs simultaneously tightens the front and back and is then secured via hook-and-loop on the front for a perfect fit.
+ Made from Air4 – it is light, breathable, four layer fabric
+ Reinforced with cordura in key areas to increase the durability of the garment

Brent –
Based on my great experiences with Hiko’s gear thus far, I ordered the Paladin dry top for fall paddling. I went with the Air4.N as an alternative given my need to trim down neck gaskets. I went with the Stealth (black) in XL. Having tested it on the water a few times, the fit and function are excellent. The top moves well, doesn’t gather in places or constrict movement, and looks damned sharp under my Kaituna pfd. The wrist gaskets are tight and dry, and the neoprene outer cuffs slide under them well when taking the top off so you aren’t putting needless stress on the latex. The neck gasket, my favorite element, keep water out and let oxygen in…in other words I’m dry and able to breathe without the hassle of doing surgery on a neck gasket.
Highly recommended piece of kit!!!
