Hey folks, I'm looking for feedback from users of the Storm Cag (I'm leaning toward the Tropos Light version, as it is so much cheaper). I am thinking of something for summer touring in class 2 waters (eg: Gulf Islands, Strait of Georgia), when my drysuit is overkill.
I have a couple of different paddling jackets (Kokatat, PeakUK), but find them uncomfortably warm in summer, as they are worn under the pfd and trap all my sweat. Plus, the neck seals (even the neoprene ones) are too tight to allow much breathing. Looks to me like the storm cag is roomy enough to allow more breathability, and the fact that it's worn over the pfd seems like it would make it less sweaty.
So, has anyone used a cag as their only waterproof layer for casual summer touring?
Cheers,
Andrew
