Whitewater dry tops keep you warm, dry, and on the water when the weather isn't friendly. Latex neck and wrist gaskets seal out spray and swims, and a double-tunnel waist locks into your sprayskirt for a dry cockpit. HIKO has built dry gear in Czechia for more than 30 years — and every top here ships fast from our warehouse in Idaho.
Choosing a kayak dry top: a full dry top like the PALADIN Air4.X (latex gaskets) is the call for cold water and hard whitewater. A semi-dry top like the Air4.N trades a touch of dryness for a comfortable neoprene neck. Short-sleeve dry tops like the ICARUS are built for splashy summer laps, and the NIMUE is our women's cut. This is the final production run of the Air4.X line — when it's gone, it's gone.
