NRS Men's Stratos Shorty Jacket: Lightweight summer protection with premium comfort
Stratos Shorty: The Perfect Companion for Warm Days on the Water
The NRS Men's Stratos Shorty Paddling Jacket is designed specifically for paddlers looking for lightweight torso protection on hot summer days. The short sleeves ensure maximum freedom of movement and better thermoregulation, while the waterproof and breathable fabric protects the core from sudden cooling caused by wind or splashing water. Its anatomical Paddler’s Cut™ design allows for complete freedom of movement and easy layering of lightweight thermal underwear under the jacket without restricting movement under a life jacket.
HyproTex™ 2.5 Fabric: Lightweight and Breathable
At the heart of this jacket is a top-of-the-line technical fabric that can handle whatever summer weather throws at it:
- HyproTex™ 2.5 (40-denier): A lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric that effectively repels water and protects against the wind, while wicking sweat and moisture away from the body for all-day comfort.
- Sealed seams: Critical seams are carefully taped at the factory, which enhances the jacket's overall water resistance in the areas where it is needed most.
- Ultralight construction: Weighing just 397 g, the jacket is lightweight and packs easily into a dry bag as a backup layer in case the weather changes.
Key Features: GlideSkin™ collar and neoprene cuffs
NRS prides itself on thoughtful details that make this lightweight jacket a reliable companion:
- GlideSkin™ neoprene collar: The soft and flexible neoprene around the neck provides exceptional comfort and an effective watertight seal without pressing against or irritating the skin (ideal for sensitive areas).
- Neoprene cuffs on the sleeves: Comfortable and effective seals on the sleeves minimize water penetration into the jacket without restricting arm movement during strokes.
- Double deck tunnel: The bottom hem with an elastic cord (bungee drawcord) allows for a secure connection to the spraydeck’s top sheet, which drastically minimizes water ingress into the cockpit.
- Waterproof shoulder pouch: A practical pocket with a waterproof zipper for safely storing small items (keys, phone in a case) that you can easily access.
Recommended activities: From summer kayaking to SUP
The NRS Stratos Shorty is a versatile protective layer for various water activities in warm weather:
- Summer kayaking and sea kayaking: Excellent protection against salt water spray and cold sea breezes, without making you feel hot.
- Water tourism: Comfort and dryness for longer trips, where you'll appreciate the breathability and quick-drying properties.
- Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Lightweight and flexible protection for the torso against inclement weather that does not restrict 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 neoprene collar and cuffs and let them air dry while hanging, away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Expert advice: The Stratos Shorty is a brilliant choice for days when the air is warm but the water is cold. It protects your core (chest and back) from getting cold, while the short sleeves let you paddle freely and even sunbathe. The GlideSkin™ collar is exceptionally soft and doesn’t constrict, which you’ll especially appreciate during long hours on the water. Don’t forget to tighten the elastic drawstring at the waist so the jacket works well with your spraydeck and water doesn’t run into the cockpit. With this jacket, you’ll enjoy summer on the water to the fullest and without a care in the world!
