I wore these for a 4-day canoe trip where I stood or walked in the river several times each day. I wore a thin pair of Injinji toe socks (which I also highly recommend) underneath the Chillcheaters and every day the Injinjis were bone dry when I took the Chillcheaters off. I used to wear wellie boots for canoeing, but they're heavy and my feet get very hot and sweaty in warm weather. I bought the off-the-shelf small size Chillcheaters and my legs are very thin so they go over my trousers, which for me is great. The Chillcheaters are like very thin flexible wellies for me and I love them!
Well, not much to say about this - particular on longer crossings - it is a great relief to have it.
Brilliant Service, quick delivery to Germany. I am very happy with it fitting both my boats. Absolutely quick to take on and off, suspenders over shoulder, Hood over head and close the zipper - done. Particularly important for me as I do my rolling practice in my garden pond in lunch breaks. I can highly recomend service and product.
Excellent product and customer service above and beyond
These are good for protecting your drysuit, and for keeping your feet warm.
Great cockpit cover fits perfectly will definitely order some.more kit from you speedy delivery
Schneller Versand, Versandkosten (nach Deutschland) und Steuer etwas teuer. Aber Das ist halt so, wenn man außerhalb der EU bestellt. Qualität dafür super.
Very happy with bag, quality kit usual superb service, thank you.
As yet untested, very happy with quality and service as usual.
Only just got it but looks well made and holds my paddle nicely. Like the mesh style material, helps things dry quickly.
A loop at one end for hanging up would be handy.
I discovered Reed 20 years ago and have found their ChillCheater tops ideal for a range of water activities. Even the best materials degrade over time and when the time came for a new one, I knew where to go. I reached out to Reed and asked if the Aquatherm fleece top could be made longer. I find they can ride up around the waist and the extra length means it can be tucked under a weight-belt or a harness (for example). Reed got the job done and in 48 hrs I had the customised top ready to go. Amazing company and an excellent product. Thank you.
For 18 years I have used this jacket for kayaking, and now I must have a new one - exactly the same. It is still well, but a bit worn round the neck.
Wish I'd bought a Reed paddlesuit years ago. Fit is great, easy to put on and keeps me perfectly dry when floating in the water or rolling my kayak.
Incredibly helpful service followed by extremely prompt delivery
