The\u00a0Haida Semi-Dry Top redefines comfort and protection for sea kayaking, touring, and canoeing. Designed to deliver the sweet spot between lightweight splash gear and the full restriction of a dry top,\u00a0it\u00a0provides paddlers with a reliable semi-dry solution that boasts versatile performance and packable convenience. At the core of the Haida is a neck closure system unlike anything else in the semi-dry category. Borrowed from the technology used in our professional rescue suits, this closure has been re-engineered for touring and recreational paddlers to strike the perfect balance between dryness and comfort. Unlike traditional neoprene punch-throughs, which can either be too tight or too loose, or latex gaskets, which can feel restrictive and uncomfortable, this system uses a soft yet structured seal that can be micro-adjusted<\/strong>. Paddlers can set it to sit loose for all-day comfort or snug it down for near-dry performance when conditions turn rough.\u00a0<\/p>

The result is a breakthrough: a semi-dry top that offers the closest thing to the security of a dry seal without the discomfort<\/strong>, giving paddlers the confidence to push into rougher conditions, extend their seasons, and rely on a piece of gear that adapts to them. For sea kayaking and general touring, it\u2019s a game-changer \u2014 one that narrows the gap between semi-dry and dry protection.\u00a0<\/p>

This top and its male equivalent, The Kenora, are more than just their neck closure system; they are built with our brand-new Exhaust Lite 2.5-ply fabric<\/strong> \u2014 PFAS-free, 100% recycled, and engineered to be substantially more breathable and waterproof than the previous generation. This is a high-performance PFAS-free fabric designed from the ground up by Level Six, featuring a premium next-to-skin feel, making these tops easy to layer under and offering maximum comfort and protection for the paddler. Both tops offer a sustainable, high-performance alternative to what has been traditionally deemed \u201chigh-performance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Key Design Innovations:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

  • Adapted neck closure system:<\/strong> Based on our professional rescue suits, re-engineered for recreational paddlers with a softer, forgiving seal that still keeps water out when conditions turn rough.<\/li>
  • Compact packability:<\/strong> Both the Haida and its male equivalent roll neatly into their own hood for easy storage, perfect for expedition and touring paddlers with limited gear space.<\/li>
  • Exhaust Lite 2.5L fabric:<\/strong> PFAS-free and 100% recycled, with 6,000 g\/m\u00b2\/24h breathability and 25,000 mm waterproofing for all-day comfort and dependable dryness. Hydrophilic properties boost real-world breathability and wicking properties.<\/li>
  • Improved Seam Tape: <\/strong>Using a new tape formulated specifically for immersion, pre-glued seams, 30% more adhesive, as well as a hot and cold press, Level Six has perfected a durable bond that can hold up to whatever is thrown at it.<\/li>
  • Gender-specific fit:<\/strong> The Haida debuts Level Six\u2019s new women\u2019s pattern, created from our industry-first Freya Fit Survey. It offers shaping and proportions informed by real paddler data, rather than scaled-down men\u2019s designs.<\/li>
  • Upgraded construction:<\/strong> Double tunnel systems for a more secure skirt seal, articulated patterning for freedom of movement, and durability built for long-term use.\u00a0<\/li>
  • Sizes:<\/strong> Haida XS – XL\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

    For dealers<\/strong>, the Haida fills a critical niche: a premium semi-dry option that appeals to a broad and growing female market. It meets the needs of expedition paddlers seeking reliable protection without bulk, recreational paddlers upgrading from entry-level splash gear, and canoeists looking for functional waterproofing in wetter conditions. The Exhaust Lite sustainability story<\/strong> speaks directly to today\u2019s environmentally conscious consumers, while the women\u2019s-specific Haida allows shops to offer a solution female paddlers have long been asking for.\u00a0<\/p>

    Together, with its men\u2019s fit equivalent The Kenora it sets a new benchmark in semi-dry design: performance, inclusivity, and sustainability packaged in a versatile top that\u2019s as comfortable on a long expedition as it is on a day tour.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
