Hiko Paladin Air4.X Dry Top
Original price was: $488.00.$388.00Current price is: $388.00.
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

Latex+
Latex+ material care involves addressing the unique needs of both components. Rinse thoroughly after every use to remove residue that could degrade the latex gasket or neoprene sleeve. Treat latex sections with silicone lubricant regularly to maintain elasticity, while using mild detergents on the neoprene portions to keep the sleeve odor-free and flexible. For storage, ensure the gasket is free from stress or sharp objects, and keep the neoprene sleeve flat in a cool, shaded area to avoid brittleness.
Cordura® 4L | Air4
Synthetic membrane materials require thorough cleaning after each use to remove sand, dirt, salt, and oils, which can obstruct the pores and impair their multi-layered functionality. Wash with water and a mild, non-residue detergent, ensuring all soap is thoroughly rinsed away while avoiding fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the membrane’s structure. Allow the material to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from heat and UV rays, to preserve its integrity. For storage, hang or lay the item flat without folding to prevent creasing and stress, and always use underlayers during wear to minimize skin oil accumulation on the membrane.

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!!!
