Why choose a Glideskin neck seal? Made in Cornwall, UK, the next-generation Rush II Dry Jacket is a top-tier technical kayaking jacket built for demanding river, sea, and surf conditions—without the uncomfortable squeeze of a latex neck seal. The Rush II uses a unique Glideskin-lined single cone neoprene neck seal, reinforced with heat-sealed seam tape. The upper section is smooth Glideskin for a close, less irritating fit that provides an outstanding seal—ideal for paddlers who dislike the restrictive feel of traditional latex. The jacket is constructed from our same trusted drysuit fabrics, waterproof, breathable, and flexible proven to keep you dry in all conditions. High-wear zones are reinforced with HD Nylon, increasing durability where it’s needed most. For superior comfort and mobility, the refined 3D articulated cut supports a full range of motion, while seamless underarm paddle zones enhance both performance and longevity. The latex wrist seals are covered with neoprene outer cuffs, offering UV protection and additional sealing. A double-layer waist system allows you to sandwich your spraydeck or bib pants between the inner layer and stretch neoprene outer band, which features Velcro tabs with cold-finger-friendly assists, for easy adjustment and a tight, secure fit. Every seam is fully waterproof taped, and the jacket is finished with a PFC-free DWR coating for an extra layer of water resistance. Whether you’re playboating, charging through spring snowmelt, or tackling long sea tours, the Rush II is for paddlers who want elite performance—without the eye-popping pressure of latex neck gaskets.
