All-round has its place, but Kokatat knows that sport-specific gear allows for better paddling performance. Cut and sewn with paddler ergonomics in mind, these base layers aren’t run-of-the-mill long johns. The bottoms feature a gusseted crotch for comfort while seated and added height in the rise so your lower back stays covered when you lean forward. The tops have slightly shortened arms to accommodate wrist gaskets and a collar that won’t interfere with a neck gasket. A short-sleeved version will also be available. New for 2012, WoolCore base layers are made from a blend of 100 percent recycled polyester for moisture wicking and durability, and rocky Mountain grown, extra-soft wool for comfort and warmth.
