Palm Zenith Men's Jacket

Comfort-focused lightweight paddle jacket

The Palm Zenith Jacket is a versatile semi-dry paddling cag designed for paddlers who want comfort, flexibility, and dependable protection across a wide range of conditions. The latest version upgrades this proven all-rounder with Seawastex® XP 2.5-layer fabric, Palm’s PFAS-free recycled waterproof material, improving sustainability while maintaining the balance of lightweight comfort and durable weather protection that has made the Zenith a favourite for whitewater, surf, and general river paddling.

Built from tough yet supple Seawastex® XP fabric, the updated Zenith offers excellent waterproofing and breathability while reducing environmental impact through recycled materials and PFAS-free construction. The lightweight build keeps the jacket comfortable for long sessions, while the articulated paddling-specific cut allows unrestricted movement through the shoulders and torso. This makes it ideal for active paddlers who want a jacket that moves naturally with them without feeling bulky or restrictive.

Unlike a full dry cag, the Zenith uses a GlideSkin neoprene neck seal, offering a softer, more comfortable fit for regular use and paddlers who prefer less restriction around the neck. Latex wrist gaskets provide secure wrist sealing, protected by UltraStretch neoprene outer cuffs for extra comfort and durability. A twin-waist system integrates with a spraydeck to reduce cockpit water ingress, while a YKK AquaGuard chest pocket keeps small essentials secure. Reflective detailing improves visibility in low-light or poor weather conditions.

The latest Palm Zenith Jacket continues to deliver the comfort-focused versatility it’s known for, now with a more environmentally responsible construction. Whether you’re surfing waves, running rivers, or heading out for day tours in mixed weather, it’s a dependable and comfortable outer layer built for regular paddling.
