Devil's Club Dry Top

C6 DWR Treatment stands for "Durable Water Repellent" and is an eco-friendly chemical treatment applied to fabrics. It helps water bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you dry during water activities. This means you can enjoy your time kayaking or paddleboarding without worrying about getting wet from splashes or rain.

Latex Neck and Wrist Gaskets are designed to create a tight seal around your neck and wrists, preventing water from entering the dry top. This is crucial for activities like kayaking, where splashes are common. The gaskets can be trimmed for a personalized fit, ensuring both comfort and maximum protection against water entry.

The Three-Layer Nylon Fabric consists of an outer layer for durability, a middle layer for waterproofing, and an inner layer for comfort. This combination provides excellent strength and protection from water while ensuring a soft feel against your skin. It’s designed to keep you dry and comfortable during your water adventures.

The Hook-and-Loop Webbing Belt, commonly known as Velcro, allows you to easily adjust the fit of your dry top around your waist. This customization helps keep the garment securely in place, providing better protection against water entry and ensuring you can move freely without any discomfort.

The Waterproof Rating indicates how much water pressure a fabric can withstand before it starts to leak. For example, a rating of 30,000mm means the fabric can handle the pressure of a 30-meter column of water. This rating is crucial for understanding how effective the dry top will be in keeping you dry during wet conditions, making it an important factor to consider when making your purchase.

Absolutely! While dry tops are popular for kayaking, they are also great for other water activities like paddleboarding, sailing, and even fishing. The waterproof features and comfortable fit make them versatile for any situation where you might encounter water, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable no matter the activity.
