Dry Cags

<< < (3/3)

Simon R.:
WHAT "latex seals harbour fungus"!!!!?? what other brands does this happen to??? from that post id say dont buy nookie!! unless you want your hand chewed off by a fungus.

i have the palm sidewinder its grand. i only got dry pants only a few months ago so was paddling with long johns and shorts. its not much fun once your wet so if your not getting the fully dry pants an everything. buy the cag and an long jonh wet suit. its your only man if you'l be swimming occasionally.

ive had my sidewinder almost three years and its grand dont even clean it!! it only leaks a little around the seals but i mean very little. the more you care for it the longer it lasts!

kjt:
I do enjoy the odd fungus finding adventure before getting on the river!!

Dave B:
Quite simple, either go for kokatat or palm, they're the best out there, .. I've used both kokatat and the palm sidewinder and too be honest they're pretty similar, but again kokatat is expensive, sorry but i don't know the names of the different kokatat models, i only know them to see.
          like joey said don't wear a wetsuit underneath, it's too restrictive, and if you buy a good cag all you need is one or two thermals underneath ( god's are selling the palm thermal top for 35euro, which is a sweet deal, i bought one and that thermal alone is enough, under a dry cag you'll be sweating)
              Buy wet suit trousers, and wear some fleece trousers underneath, still warm when you swim, and anyways now that you've your own boat you won't be swimming for long!     :)
