latex cuff

Latex cuff(s) at the neck or sleeves achieve maximum density on paddle jackets and dry suits.

Some paddlers get skin irritations from the latex. You can counteract this by always diligently dusting the cuffs with baby powder (talcum powder) or carefully shaving the beard transition on the neck.

If the latex becomes sticky, especially through perspiration, then please rinse with clear water and powder in new ones.

If all that is not enough, or if a lack of comfort is the main argument, then a jacket / suit with neoprene cuffs is recommended. These are more comfortable and durable, less allergenic, but also noticeably less dense.

Incidentally, we also have talc as an accessory: McNett Protalc talc care product for latex
