Seland Escalo Jacket: 5mm hooded canyoning jacket

Escalo Jacket: Basic thermal protection for canyoning

Seland Escalo Jacket This neoprene jacket is designed for canyoning and activities in cold water. It is part of the two-piece Seland Escalo system and, when worn with long johns, provides protection while swimming, rappelling down waterfalls, climbing, and navigating rocky gorges.

The uniform 5 mm neoprene thickness provides excellent thermal insulation. This model is suitable for recreational canyoning, occasional canyon descents, and commercial use by agencies or rental shops, where practicality and durability are key.

5 mm double-sided laminated neoprene

The jacket is made of 5 mm double-sided laminated neoprene. This design provides thermal protection during prolonged contact with cold water while also withstanding the typical stresses of canyoning.

• 5mm neoprene: Thermal insulation suitable for cold water and cold canyons.
• Double-sided lamination: It increases the neoprene's durability when it comes into contact with equipment and the terrain.
• Uniform thickness: A practical, versatile solution for recreational canyoning.

Smooth Skin Hood and Neck Protection

The integrated hood has a smooth trim around the face Smooth Skin wetsuit. This material fits more snugly and helps prevent cold water from seeping into the hood. The hood enhances thermal comfort for the head and neck while in cold water or under waterfalls.

• Integrated hood: Head protection against the cold during canyoning in cold water.
• Smooth Skin Around the Face: A snug fit for better protection against water ingress.
• Neck Protection: It helps reduce chills in sensitive areas while swimming and rappelling.

Rubber Flex 06 in high-traffic areas

The high-stress areas of the jacket are reinforced with material Rubber Flex 06. Reinforcements at the elbows and in the lumbar region protect the neoprene during contact with rocks, climbing, crawling, rappelling, and when using a harness.

• Elbow reinforcements: Greater durability when climbing and leaning against the rock.
• Lumbar support: Protection when coming into contact with a harness or rock, and when moving through narrow passages.
• More durable construction: Practical for more frequent use in rough terrain.

Side YKK zipper and jacket stabilization

The jacket fastens with side YKK zipper, which extends all the way to the chin for easier donning and better coverage of the torso. The bottom of the zipper is finished with a PVC tip. The adjustable beaver tail extends through the crotch and helps keep the jacket in the correct position while swimming, rappelling, and moving in the water.

• Side YKK zipper: A front closure that extends all the way to the chin for easy dressing.
• PVC zipper end cap: Additional protection for the bottom part of the clasp.
• Adjustable beaver tail: It keeps the jacket in place so it doesn't ride up when you move.
• Buckle closure: It allows you to adjust the length of the stabilizing strap to fit your body.

Pair with the Seland Escalo long johns

The Seland Escalo Jacket functions as a standalone neoprene top layer, but for full-fledged canyoning use, we recommend pairing it with the Seland Escalo long johns. This two-piece system protects the entire body and creates two layers of neoprene around the torso for significantly greater thermal comfort.

• Separate jacket: Suitable as an insulating layer for less demanding or warmer conditions.
• With the Escalo long johns: A complete neoprene system for canyoning in cold water.
• Double hull protection: Greater thermal comfort during long stays in the canyon.

Suitable use

The Seland Escalo Jacket is designed primarily for canyoning in cold water:

• Recreational canyoning: Canyon descents, swimming, rappelling, and climbing.
• Commercial canyoning: A practical choice for agencies, instructors, and group use.
• Cold mountain gorges: 5mm neoprene for extended exposure to cold water.
• Waterfalls and slides: A hood and reinforcements to provide protection when moving through rugged terrain.
• Pairing with long johns: For the complete Seland Escalo canyoning set.

Expert Advice

For canyoning in cold water, we recommend always pairing the Escalo jacket with appropriate long johns. When trying it on, make sure the hood fits snugly around your face, the zipper closes comfortably all the way to your chin, and the beaver tail keeps the jacket in place without restricting movement in your harness. The wetsuit should fit snugly without any large gaps, but it must allow you to raise your arms overhead, squat, and swim comfortably.
