Palm Vector Kids: All-around protection and maximum comfort for little explorers

Vector Kids: One Jacket for All Sports

Kids grow fast, and buying them a specialized jacket for every sport doesn’t make sense. The Palm Vector Kids is designed to be the perfect all-around jacket. Its cut doesn’t restrict movement, whether your child is paddling, sailing, or just running around on the shore. It’s a great safety net for changeable weather—when the wind picks up or it starts to rain, you can simply throw it over a T-shirt or wetsuit, and the fun can continue.

XP50 Fabric: Reliable Protection Against Rain and Wind

The jacket is made from a tried-and-true 2-layer XP50 fabric. This material was developed with an emphasis on wind resistance and water protection, while remaining very lightweight and easy to pack.

• All the seams on the jacket are fully lined, so water won't seep through, even at the seams.
• The lightweight design doesn't weigh down a child's shoulders, and the jacket packs easily into a small bundle that fits in a backpack or duffel bag.

Neck and Cuffs: No More Tightness and Tears When Getting Dressed

Parents of young paddlers know this well—putting tight latex cuffs over their children’s heads and arms is often a struggle. The Vector Kids model elegantly solves this problem:

• Krk: The collar opens wide, and children can easily adjust it themselves using the Velcro fastener. No uncomfortable tightness. When the sun comes out, simply loosen the collar for instant ventilation.
• Wrist: They are fitted with conical sleeves made of Glide Skin Neoprene. This soft material fits beautifully and smoothly against a child's skin. It stops water from running off the paddle, but unlike latex, it doesn't restrict blood circulation at all, and it's very easy to slip your hands through it.

Practical and Safety Details

Children's safety on the water is our top priority, which is why the jacket is equipped with high-visibility reflective elements, which ensure that young paddlers are clearly visible even at dusk or in fog. The jacket’s waist features a Velcro drawstring, so you can easily adjust it to fit your child’s body and prevent cold air from blowing in. The front also features zippered pocket, perfect for a small snack or a handkerchief.

Suitable activities and field deployment

Palm Vector Kids covers the entire spectrum of children's water fun:

• Canoeing and Water Tourism: Perfect for family kayaking trips on vacation rivers.
• Children's Sea Kayaking and Sailing: It will protect you from the cold wind at dams and lakes.
• Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): A lightweight and comfortable layer for cooler days on the board.
• Summer Camps and Water Sports Clubs: Essential gear for every young camper.

About Palm Equipment

Since 1979, the British brand Palm Equipment has been one of the world’s most respected manufacturers of water sports equipment. Palm’s children’s clothing isn’t just “cheap, scaled-down imitations,” but fully-fledged, functional pieces that use the same high-quality materials and smart details as the adult models.

Care and Maintenance of a Water Sports Jacket

To ensure the jacket stays in good condition for a long time (and can be passed down to younger siblings), rinse it with clean water after using it in salty or very dirty water. Do not wring out the jacket, and do not dry it in a dryer or on a hot radiator. Let it air dry naturally while hanging on a hanger in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
