The Kokatat Windstopper paddling jacket is more breathable then Gore-Tex, but not as waterproof. On many days a Kokatat Windstopper jacket is more comfitable than any other type of jacket. It keeps the spray off you and will even keep you dry in a light rain. When the weather turns bad, it is time for the Storm Can anyhow. A Windstopper with a Storm Cag over top works great. The best feature of the Windstopper jackets is that you will dry quick. How often have you been wet paddling, not from the weather, but from your own sweat? The Kokatat Windstopper jackets are light, packs small, comfortable, very breathable and inexpensive. Better then a coated paddling jacket for most people in most conditions.

Kokatat says: The name says it all – WINDSTOPPER® fabric from Gore is an extremely breathable, totally windproof and highly water-resistant fabric that is a must for any outdoor enthusiast.

The Gore WINDSTOPPER membrane stops wind from piercing your clothing and causing convective heat loss. It's also very breathable, so your perspiration can escape.

Our lightweight, packable paddling shells also work as a great crossover piece for other sports like cycling, running or cross-country skiing. The 2 oz. polyester WINDSTOPPER laminate is an excellent choice for quick drying UV protection on sunny, breezy days or during a chilly, windy drizzle.
