Blaze Longjohn: Comfort and Thermal Protection

Palm Blaze Longjohn This neoprene long john is designed for paddlers seeking a balanced combination of thermal insulation, high flexibility, and comfort during movement.

Expert Advice

Long johns should fit snugly without noticeable wrinkles, but they must not restrict deep squats, forward bends, or shoulder movement when paddling. For optimal thermal comfort, pair the GlideSkin cuffs at the ankles with well-fitting neoprene boots. After use, rinse the wetsuit with fresh water, turn it inside out, and dry it in the shade; the quick-drying lining will then perform at its best even with repeated use.
