Palm Zenith Women's Jacket

Lightweight semi-dry comfort tailored for female paddlers

The Palm Zenith Women’s Jacket is a versatile semi-dry paddling cag designed specifically for female paddlers who want dependable weather protection, comfort, and unrestricted movement across a wide range of paddling conditions. Built for whitewater, surf, touring, and general river running, it combines lightweight performance with a women-specific fit for improved comfort on the water. The latest model uses Seawastex® XP 2.5-layer fabric, bringing a more sustainable construction without compromising the proven performance of the Zenith range.

Constructed from Palm’s durable Seawastex® XP fabric, the Zenith Women’s Jacket offers reliable waterproofing and breathability while using PFAS-free recycled materials to reduce environmental impact. The supple fabric keeps the jacket light and flexible for active paddling, while the women-specific articulated cut is tailored to follow the natural paddling position, improving comfort and freedom of movement through the shoulders and torso. This makes it ideal for long sessions where mobility and reduced fatigue are key.

For sealing performance, the Zenith uses a comfortable GlideSkin neoprene neck gasket, offering a softer, less restrictive fit than a full latex neck seal, making it a great option for regular paddling and mixed conditions. Latex wrist gaskets create dependable wrist seals, protected by UltraStretch neoprene outer cuffs for improved durability and comfort. A twin-waist system integrates with a spraydeck to help reduce water ingress into the cockpit, while the YKK AquaGuard chest pocket provides secure storage for essentials. Reflective detailing improves visibility during low-light paddling.

Combining lightweight comfort, practical dry protection, and a female-specific fit, the Palm Zenith Women’s Jacket is a highly adaptable outer layer for paddlers who want comfort-focused performance. Whether you’re surfing, river running, or heading out for a day on the sea, it’s designed to keep you protected without feeling restrictive.
