Wave Sport Gravity 3-Season Jacket ($135):
Unless the river is a toasty 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, your teeth will be a-chatterin' after long hours on—and in—the drink. For fair-water kayakers who'd prefer to maintain their ideal body temperature but without the overkill of a dry top, the Gravity 3-Season semi-dry jacket floats to the top of available choices. The Gravity has a body-conforming cut and anatomically articulated shoulder and elbow sections that allow an unencumbered range of motion. A one-piece Xtend neoprene neck gasket, with an adjustable tensioner, is oh-so-comfortable against the skin, while keeping water at bay. At the cuffs you've got latex gaskets helping seal out further H2O incursions, while reinforced elbow panels afford the jacket multi-season longevity. And for compatibility, the Gravity mates seamlessly with the Wave Sport InterLoc spray-skirt system. Contact 800-311-7245, www.wavesport.com.
