Yet another cag question
caz:
so what we're all trying to say here bill, is it's much of a muchness with regards to durability, warmth etc. what you need to be looking at is your colour options. i think kokatat wins hands down for aesthetics, i particularly like thier stylish mango shade. however it all depends on the colour of your helmet, ba and boat. hope this helps.
Edit: is it ok to wash your cag with milton? doesn't damage the seals or anything? my cag says its machine washable but i'm not prepared to take that risk :-\
Amanda:
I wash gear in the washing machine when I won't be using for a while or it smells or I'm just feeling lazy. I put it on a 30 degree slow gentel wash and it doesn't seen to have done any harm yet and my booties don't smell.
And what caz said it really important not to clash on the river since everyone started getting them water proof cameras.
TomB:
I spent a couple of years with palm cags, and i have to say they were brilliant because every few months i got a new because the old one delaminated!
I have a kokatat helix cag since July and it got 3 weeks of Norway and continuous use ever since. still bomber.
I also have the kokatat gore tex dry suit since October and that is still bomber after contiuous use.
i've heard loads of bad stories of palm dry wear, that people are now starting to change 'palm' for 'sham' . . . . . . kokatat have a great reputation at the moment.
Jim:
Having no personal experience of either cag, all I can say is that Kokatat stuff, in general, rocks. I've had a Kokatat drysuit since last March and I've never been so dry, warm, or yellow in all my days of kayaking. The downside is that Kokatat gear is more expensive - it's a case of getting what you pay for.
Jim.
