Palm Chinook Women's Jacket

Sea Kayak & Touring cag tailored for female paddlers

The Palm Chinook Women’s Jacket is a premium touring and sea kayaking cag built specifically for female paddlers who need adaptable weather protection, lightweight packability, and all-day comfort on the water. Designed for sea kayaking, canoe touring, coastal exploration, and mixed-weather paddling, the Chinook blends practical weatherproofing with a women-specific fit that moves naturally with the body. It’s a dependable outer layer for paddlers who want serious protection without the bulk of a full dry cag.

The latest Chinook Women’s Jacket uses Palm’s updated Seawastex® XP 2.5-layer fabric, a PFAS-free recycled waterproof material that improves sustainability while maintaining excellent protection from wind, spray, and rain. The lightweight construction packs down small when not needed, making it ideal for stowing on deck or in a hatch, ready to deploy when conditions change. Its women-specific articulated cut improves comfort and range of movement through the shoulders and torso, helping reduce fatigue on longer paddles. Palm’s Seawastex® fabric incorporates recycled marine nylon waste for a lower environmental footprint without sacrificing durability.

A standout feature of the Chinook is its fleece-lined double collar with offset zip, designed for warmth, comfort, and easy ventilation. The adjustable ExoSkin inner neck seal offers a softer semi-dry closure than a latex neck gasket, making it especially comfortable for long touring days. Latex wrist gaskets with adjustable outer cuffs help seal out water, while the spraydeck-compatible twin waist reduces water ingress into the cockpit. The removable, helmet-compatible storm hood provides extra protection when the weather turns, and YKK AquaGuard front pockets keep essentials secure and accessible.

Designed for changing conditions and long-distance comfort, the Palm Chinook Women’s Jacket is a highly adaptable touring cag for paddlers who want lightweight weather protection with practical features and a female-specific fit. Whether you’re crossing open water, exploring coastlines, or heading out on multi-day trips, it’s built to keep you protected and comfortable.
