Back in the 'wack

After a week back on the frigid waters of the Chilliwack River in Canada’s British Columbia I feel able to comment with some authority on my new IR layers.


In a welcome improvement the Splash Pants are now cut comfortably and feature a subtle colour pattern to replace the matte grey of old, and I’ve found use for the new-addition semi-dry pocket on multiple occasions.


The enter-through-the-neck Union Suit is enough to keep me warm in water all too recently snow, even with ambient temperatures hovering between 5 and 10°C.


The non-stretchy neck is fixed, and the X-jacket is now just as awesome as the IR shorty.


Stoked on the new gears and looking forward to hitting some creeks soon with Adrian and Sam flying in in the next few days.
