PADDLE WOOL - LIGHTWEIGHT
In search of a lightweight tech top that works when wet, we were excited to develop this unique paddling top using Paddle Wool milled by Polartec.
Utilizing the adaptive properties of Merino wool, this fabric is truly space-age.
A soft, ultra-fine merino wool interior next to the skin wicks moisture and insulates as the merino fibers expand and contract with your body heat.
A quick-dry synthetic exterior provides strength and durability.
This natural odor-resistant fabric is a base layer that manages moisture during high output pursuits on the water or on land.
The Lightweight Tech Top is a great year-round top that can easily replace your cold rash guards or those tired race jerseys.
It is also a great base layer worn under our Downwind paddling tops too.
We love this top's elastic wrist cuff that keeps its shape even when wet!
How many soggy shirts do we have to push up to keep them from dragging in the water? Problem solved!
We have designed this piece as a fitted base layer.
Size up one if you want a loose-fitting top.
This is the finest technical paddling top available.

In search of a thermal tech top that works when wet we were excited to develop this unique paddling top with Polartec. Utilizing the adaptive properties of Merino wool, this fabric is truly space-age.
A soft, ultra-fine merino wool interior next to the skin wicks moisture and insulates as the merino fibers expand and contract with your body heat. A quick-dry synthetic exterior provides strength and durability. This natural odor-resistant fabric is a base layer that manages moisture during high output pursuits on the water when temperatures are cold.
The Thermal Tech Top can be worn as a base layer or as a mid-layer with something underneath.
The nylon exterior blocks wind surprisingly well, so when you turn upwind, you have an ally on your side.
This top is finished with an elastic cuff that gives both a tailored fit and structure to the wettest part of our kit.
We have designed this piece as a fitted base layer so if you want a loose-fitting top, increase your top size to one larger. This top does have a nice stretch and will be the warmest layer in your kit.
This is the finest technical paddling top available.

HOW TO WEAR
The perfect foundation for cool-to-cold water paddling. 3.0mm pants keep you warm and dry while seated in cold water with continuous one-piece coverage to a 1.0mm vest.
Combine with base layers under the vest for added insulation, and complete the kit with an outer layer for protection from the elements.
We have enjoyed adding the Giant Fish Paddle Wool as an insulating base layer with the Giant Fish Wind Shirt as a flexible shell to protect you from wind and spray.
If you need more immersion and thermal protection, go with the Giant Fish 1mm neoprene Race Top for a magical combination.
SIZING
*Height and weight are usually the best size predictor. Consider buying the next largest size if you're on the upper end of height or weight.
