No matter how demanding the conditions, Reed Chillcheater have you quite literally covered! Our popular base layers are made from Transpire Fleece specifically designed to move moisture away from your skin. Transpire Fleece effectively moves liquids toward the outer side of the fabric where it then evaporates keeping you consistently warm and dry!

The Storm Jacket Collection - Keeping you dry and warm in the toughest conditions
Aquatherm Fleece Storm Jacket - Medium / Ink Blue is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Work well. So far used them twice in flat water K2 winter kayaking with multiple portages (DW style training) on the Avon and Kennet canal.
Comfortable. Good weather proofing. Just warm enough at 5 degrees C (making a decent effort) with a very thin (125 merino) thermal top though next time I will wear a warmer thermal at 5-10 degree. I am now much less concerned about immersion than I would be with standard gear - the perennial DW winter/ night training anxiety. After a 3 hour moderately intense session my thermal was nearly dry. The fabric does not hold much water so dries quickly/ could be wiped down if in a tent/ expedition ready for the next day.

Comfortable. Keep centre dryer than the usual. Good weather proofing. Just warm enough at 5 degrees C without a thermal (active paddling) though next time I will wear a thermal at 5-10 degree. I am now much less concerned about immersion than I would be with standard gear - the perennial DW winter/ night training anxiety.
Already have standard waterproof socks - thermal lining makes positive difference for winter boat launches
Bought these to go inside my motorcycle trials boots. Used them yesterday for the first time and they worked perfectly. Feet were perfectly dry and warm all day even when walking through Yorkshire rivers in December. They are so comfortable too.
I have only worn them once so far for rowing, but found them to fit well and they were really waterproof - a blessing when the water is very cold at this time of the year. They were quick and easy to take on and off. I'm very pleased with them.
Easy to use if you follow the YouTube clip. I hope to have made my drysuit dry again. Thanks
Funktioniert einwandfrei ist dicht bei der Rolle.
Ordered a custom size spray deck for my whitewater kayak. Beautiful workmanship and fit(me and the boat) Great colour/ blue. Awesome job Reed. Mark Sanders.
Just exactly that I needed to feel comfortable on my kayak. Not a single drop of water gets in and dries vey quickly!
The treatment and communication at all times to obtain the exact measurements and size was very pleasant! Great speed in shipping and delivery too!
Highly recommended!
Absolutely love the Reed Transpire fleeces, this the second one I’ve bought. Keep you warm, wick away moisture, fantastic for kayaking under a cag or drysuit or hiking! Even used as a thermal for winter hikes in Scotland.
Absolutely cracking jacket well worth the money very water proof would seriously suggest this jacket to any shore fisherman
Being military I expect a lot from a product. This does not disappoint. Can’t wait to put my waterproof yes through their paces
Excellent spraydeck and they really went out of their way for exceptional and speedy service. Highly recommended in every way. This brand was recommended to me by a friend who paddled solo from Seattle to Alaska--she knows her stuff!
This is my second Reed Aquathem spay deck and once again it fantastic
A Well made quality product that is bomb proof - thank you
