Re: [Paddlewise] Palm Paddle Jackets?

Dan - this was discussed in the group a couple of weeks ago. The drift of
opinion seemed to be that the Palm jackets might or might not be as waterproof
as the Kokotat ones, but because of their thinner coatings, they probably
wouldn't be as durable. That might not be a big disadvantage in my case. 

   --  Yeah sorry about bringing up again, I couldn't remember if it was this
group or rec.boats.paddle who discussed Palm recently. Guess I thought it was
RBP and though t that I would bring it up here.  - - 


My other reservation is that as far as I know, they have a spandex or neoprene
neck closure, which would be more comfortable but less waterproof than a latex
closure.

However - I'm seriously considering purchase of a Palm drytop. So I'll be very
interested in the responses you get. If you get any replies which are not
posted to the group, it would be a great help if you would forward them on to
me. 

Thanks in advance for your help - Bill Hansen

No comments received that wren't posted here. I think that I will give one a
try, may be a case of me spending a 100 bucks and finding out later that I
should of sprung for the real thing.           -  Dan
