Bomber Gear splashes back onto the whitewater scene with a new line of dry gear including this flagship dry top. We found the Bomb’s highly water resistant, Sub-screen treated neoprene cuffs protected the wrist gaskets and improved fit, helping the sleeves stay put on our wrists. The sticky neoprene outer tunnel did a great job saving us from the crop top effect of bracing and rolling. The inner liner is a light and silky Tricot waterproof-breathable nylon that doesn’t bunch or chafe against bare skin.
High Sign: Bomber Gear’s gaskets aren’t glued; they’re chemically fused for longer-lasting protection.
Low Sign: No elbow or forearm reinforcement may lead to premature wear.
