Custom women’s dry deck

John Weld — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:58:21 +0000

Roy L. from Flagstaff AZ ordered this for his wife- a custom dry deck that combines a women’s Comp jacket to a J-Lo skirt. We thought it was a pretty snazzy piece of gear, so we made a quick post. Here’s Kara modeling it before we send it off.

IR Custom Drydecks are comfortable, dry, iconic, handsome…

A custom IR Drydeck will make you dry and at home in just about any environment. It’s as simple as choosing your favorite IR jacket and Sprayskirt to be combined into the Centaur of paddling gear. When wearing his drydeck, Joey, “the original mustache king,” slips into the deepest relaxation, enabling him to mingle with professional kayakers… yes, the important people of the world.

Double tunnel skirts, redefined

So a few years ago, we had a customer request a skirt with a smaller tunnel put in front of the normal tunnel so he could plop his kid in there and go kayaking- presumably on a lake or class I and II stuff. It seemed harmless enough. But we may have made a mistake when we told Tommy Hilleke about this. He immediately asked us for one, and the implications are, well, lets just say terrifying thought provoking. Some pics of Tommy’s new toy:

Custom Drydeck- Drysuit

John Weld — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:54:36 +0000

We recently received a couple of requests for a product we had never made before, and after some consideration, we thought it was actually a pretty cool idea: a drysuit with a skirt sewn right into the outer tunnel. A drydeck meets drysuit. Our own Jon Harmon modeled the suit before we sent it out. If you are interested in a product like this, let us know.

Introducing the Youth Comp LX Drytop

rloughney — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:58:00 +0000

We are excited to unveil one of our newest, and most requested, pieces of gear. A full on kid’s drytop! More and more kids are getting after it these days, a lot of them cheered on by their parents who spent their formative years during the plastic kayak revolution of the Mirage and Dancer. These two jackets will be headed down to Chile to Kurt Casey of Rivers of Chile fame. All of these are custom ordered, so please allow a couple of weeks for us to make it.
Makenzie and Kaitlyn Wheatly, two local Confluence soccer phenoms that I coach, were kind enough to stop by the shop and model the jackets for us. This was their first time ever even seeing a drytop, and with a little baby powder and the promise of some sugar worms, they put them on no problem.
For reference, Makenzie (in the blue) is 10, 4’6” tall and weighs 58 pounds. Kaitlyn (purple) is 6, about 4 feet tall and 63 pounds. You can see that they both have some room to grow into them, so your young-uns will be able to use it for a couple seasons.

Some of the features: all of the same great features of our Comp LX Jacket, and the jacket can be made with a latex neck or our competition style neck.
The latex wrist and neck gaskets are specially designed with smaller people in mind as they are actually closed cones that can be trimmed to fit even the smallest wrists and necks.
Please contact us our your local retailer for ordering information.
