This old favorite has been rereleased with new colors and the same breathability we know and love—no sweat-soaked inner layers with this one. The fabric is soft to the touch to reduce friction and boost comfort when paddling.
We like the Flux’s lightness and adjustability. Tabs at the wrist dial in fit, while the neck has a punch-through neoprene cuff so your hair won’t get caught in moving parts. The neoprene has an inner coating to reduce chafing against your skin.
A pull-tab tightens the inner tunnel to reduce bulk against your body and the grippy outer tube bonds with your skirt to stay in place.
