NRS Women's Echo Splash

NRS Women's Echo Splash Jacket: Lightweight and breathable protection designed for the female form

Echo Splash Women's: Classic Design, Top-Notch Functionality

The NRS Women's Echo Splash Jacket proves that great protection doesn't have to cost a fortune or be unnecessarily heavy. It’s designed with a specific athletic cut for women that supports natural movement while paddling and also provides plenty of room for layering (such as lightweight thermal underwear or a fleece) underneath the jacket. Even when layered, the jacket remains comfortable and doesn’t restrict your movement under a personal flotation device (PFD). It’s the ideal choice for women who want a reliable barrier against water and wind without sacrificing breathability or a feminine fit.

HyproTex™ 2.5 Fabric: Breathability and Durability

At the heart of this jacket is a tried-and-true technical fabric:

• HyproTex™ 2.5: A lightweight, technical fabric that breathes exceptionally well and effectively repels water (with a DWR finish). It wicks sweat and moisture away from the body, which is key to maintaining comfort during extended paddling sessions.
• Factory-taped seams: All critical seams are carefully sealed at the factory, ensuring reliable waterproofing and preventing water from seeping in even under the most demanding conditions.
• Durability and Lightweight: The material is durable enough to withstand normal wear and tear on the water, yet it remains lightweight and won't weigh you down when worn all day.

Key Details: Urethane cuffs, tunnel, and pocket

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

• Adjustable urethane collar and cuffs: Both the neck and wrist areas feature flexible urethane cuffs that can be easily adjusted to fit your body for an optimal seal and comfort. They don't constrict like latex, but they reliably keep water out.
• Double drawstring neoprene waistband: It provides excellent waterproofing and prevents the jacket from riding up. It works in conjunction with the spraydeck’s deck tunnel to ensure maximum cockpit protection.
• Sleeve pocket with an Aquaguard waterproof zipper: A practical feature for storing small items (keys, an energy bar, a cell phone in its case) that you can easily access even while wearing the vest, without letting water get inside.

Recommended activities: From sea kayaking to hiking

The NRS Women's Echo Splash is a versatile protective layer for various water activities:

• Sea Kayaking: Excellent protection against saltwater spray and wind during longer crossings on the open water.
• Water Tourism and Recreational Paddling: A lightweight, breathable jacket that will keep you dry during spring and fall outings on rivers and lakes.
• Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Perfect protection for the torso against wind and spray, without restricting arm movement while paddling in a standing position.

Jacket Care and Maintenance

To maintain breathability and water resistance, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the jacket with clean water after each use, especially after contact with salt water. Wash gently by hand or on the delicate cycle in the washing machine (max. 30 °C) using liquid detergent designed for technical membrane clothing. Never use fabric softener or bleach! Rinse the urethane cuffs and let them air dry while hanging, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not tumble dry or iron.
