Hiko Rogue Ion

Hiko Rogue Ion: Versatile and Comfortable Protection for Every Paddleboarder

Rogue Ion: Great Value for the Price

The Hiko Rogue Ion represents the best in Czech water sports apparel for paddlers who don't want to compromise between protection and comfort. Unlike stiff, crinkly dry suits, this jacket is made from ION fabric, which is soft to the touch, quiet, and extremely flexible. It provides a reliable barrier against wind and water, while its breathability ensures that you won’t overheat under the jacket, even during more intense activity.

ION Material: Softness, Quietness, and Durability

At the heart of this jacket is an advanced fabric that’s a game-changer in affordable water sports apparel:

• ION Fabric: High-quality, soft, and durable material with a water- and wind-resistant finish. It doesn't rustle on the water and doesn't restrict your movement.
• High breathability: It effectively wicks moisture and sweat away from the body, which is key to maintaining body temperature and comfort during all-day activity.
• Abrasion resistance: The material is designed to withstand normal contact with the boat, the paddle, or rocks on the shore without wearing out quickly.

Key Details: Seals, Tunnel, and Pockets

Hiko prides itself on thoughtful details that make a jacket a truly functional piece of gear:

• Neoprene cuffs: Flexible neoprene seals at the neck and wrists reliably prevent cold water from entering the jacket while also providing additional thermal insulation.
• Double deck tunnel: It ensures a better seal with the spray deck. It prevents water from getting between the jacket and the boat's cockpit, even when you lean over while paddling.
• Adjustable waist and hood: They allow you to perfectly adjust the jacket to your body type and current weather conditions.
• Practical pockets: A compartment for small items that is easily accessible even when wearing a life jacket.

Recommended activities: From hiking to WW III

The Hiko Rogue Ion is a versatile protective layer for various water activities:

• Water tourism and river rafting: The perfect companion for spring and fall, when the water is cold but the air is already pleasant.
• Mild whitewater (WW I–III): Adequate protection against splashing water and wind when navigating rapids and whirlpools.
• Sea kayaking and rafting: A reliable barrier against salt water and wind during longer crossings on the open water.

Jacket Care and Maintenance

To maintain the jacket’s top-quality properties (water resistance and breathability), we recommend thoroughly rinsing it with clean water after each use, especially after swimming in saltwater or dirty water. Wash gently, ideally by hand or on a delicate cycle in the washing machine (max. 30 °C), using a liquid detergent designed for technical clothing. Never use fabric softener or bleach! Rinse the neoprene cuffs and let them air dry while hanging, away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
