Shorty cag

Postby paddler007 » Mon May 21, 2012 9:29 pm

Hello again, as the sun has finally shone, I'm interested in a shorty cag. Any suggestions on what to go for?

Is this the only option:

http://www.palmequipmenteurope.com/gear/zenith.html

I would be wearing it for surfing, river running and rafting.

Thanks

I have been using the Zenith Shorty cag from Palm since Spring Summer last year in the UK for play boating and surfing and for the autumn Season in Nepal rafting and safety kayaking. Its comfy works well had a lot abuse and will be coming with me to Canada in 3 days for another raft season.

Peak, Yak and Artistic all offer shorty cags. I'm sure there are others as well.

I also have the Zenith. Big Thumbs Up. Pretty dry too even when playboating, and I spend a lot of time upside down when I do that!
