- It can be hard to decide what the best paddling tops are. While you can probably get away with whatever is in your closet, there are some things you should consider when dressing and choosing the best clothing for kayaking and canoeing, which is what we're covering in this video.

I really appreciate the knowledge you spread. It's delivered properly. I truly feel you create content for your channel to educate. Thank you so much.
I appreciate that! Thanks!
I agree with you about the jacket with the neoprene neck; I also feel most comfortable in them. When you close it nicely (my Peak UK anorak is adjustable) hardly any water comes in, not even when rolling.
I like the blue shirt you wear, never saw it before.
As always, thanks for the video!
Nice, glad to hear you found a solution that's comfortable but still doesn't let any water in, that's great! Thanks for the comment :)
For hot, sunny weather it's hard to beat a sun hoody. They're cool, comfortable and give total sun protection to the neck, ears and side of the face, and usually have extra-long sleeves with thumb holes to protect the backs of your hands. Wear one over a baseball cap and you hardly need sunscreen at all. Lots of companies make them. My favorite is a Patagonia.
The second jacket seems to be the Orion, not the Riptide jacket. Riptide has only neoprene wrists and a different collar design. At least that's what I read in all descriptions (I bought a Riptide Splash jacket and expect its delivery this week). Best wishes from Tyrol.
For fall or spring canoeing I love my nrs terreprene rashguard, I'll line it with a polartec grid hoodie and cover with a fitted softshell when necessary. A lot of people go with the dry suit in the canoe too but I haven't needed to yet.
Nice, sounds like you've found a good system!
Going to be new to kayaking so this was just what I needed to know 👍🏼
Glad I could help!
Great presentation! It would be super if you follow up with a video on your views on using a full dry suit, splash suit etc, i.e. not only the top. Pros and cons? Your preferences?
Tx for sharing your knowledge!
Great suggestion! We're planning to keep rolling out some tips so we will keep this in mind for sure! :)
Do you have a video on Dry pants, semi dry pants or bibs?
I've been known to wear chest waders to stop wet butt before I went and pulled the trigger on a full dry suit due to price... Yep, it wasn't ideal but maximized with tops & belts to keep water from opening up chest and dragging me to the bottom...
Sometimes you just have to work with what you've got, Edwin!
Sources and manufacturers of the items wpuld be great.
You bet! Check out our blog post, we list all the items in a bit more detail: www.paddle-tales.com/blog/how-to-choose-paddling-tops
Can you please provide a link for the second jacket with the neoprene only neck
Please provide Links to a supplier of these tops, not familiar with the company and style names. Thanks
Hey Steve, these are all from NRS. I've done a blog post and linked up to all the styles mentioned in the video: www.paddle-tales.com/blog/how-to-choose-paddling-tops
