I have used Storm Cags for decades and they are an essential bit of sea kayaking equivalent I now always have a Reed one in my kayak and often carry a spare for clients.
This is lightweight compact and durable.
I especially like the reflective silver lining - which could easily be used to attract attention in an emergency.
Simple to cut the cuffs to size if needed.
Better than many more expensive brands on the market. Comes in XL on request - recommend.
These are a perfect addition to my kayaking equipment.
Keeps my feet warm and dry when launching and getting out. Great for wearing around camp too which means I can live in my wet kayak shoes and save space in my kayak on expedition by not needing dry shoes.
I always use Reedchillcheater Transpire Fleece garments under my dry suit. In the UK I find them warm enough on their own. However during my expeditions in East Greenland I sometimes double up.
They are quick drying warm and don’t smell - unlike many other brands of base layers.
I also carry a spare set including socks and hat for emergencies.
My clients are encouraged to wear them as I then know they are going to be warm and comfortable.
Highly recommended.
Reed were absolutely great at figuring out that I had made an error in the order( inconsistent measurements) They e mailed me to clarify, and I still got the spray deck within a week. It fits perfectly. Can’t wait to get it wet
The socks are water proof but advise to ware beech shoes to protect socks and feet as soft bottoms. I stand in the river a lot rowing getting boats in and out of the water and often ware normal socks inside to keep feet warm which are bone dry when I get changed.
Trout fisherman. Endless hours in fishing chest waders; these transpire trousers are perfect underneath - warm, close-fitting, flexible. I'm about to order my 3rd set - the other two sets are still going, but are beginning to wear out around the bum - they've been used for at least 10 years - can't remember exact date - and time for a refresh.
Outstanding quality and helpful staff. Request a slight adjustment to a high wear area, which was done FOC and with an issue. Would recommend 100% if your looking waterproof clothing
