Aquatherm® fabric has been developed to enable wearers to remain warm and dry for sport or leisure, in a whole range of conditions. It is a lightweight fabric that offers great freedom of movement, far more so than with traditional, bulkier neoprene and woven garments.

It is essential that the garment is working with the athlete, unlike earlier neoprene fabrics, where the athlete is more often working against the garment. Aquatherm is less than a millimetre thick and remains stable, flexible, strong and waterproof when fully flexed. Unlike neoprene, it has the added advantage of being water-shedding and fast drying, so less temperature is lost from the wet outer shell through evaporation.

After Care

For Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece®

Recommend hand washing with warm soapy water.

Turn garment inside out. Short, warm, delicate wash, max 40 degrees in mild soapy water, (not detergent). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not spin. Do not wring.

Hang garments from their cuffs and neck to ensure that if there should be any water left then it can drain away easily.

Store clean and dry indoors away from heat and direct sunlight

Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not bleach. Do not dry over hot radiators or near excessive heat

Produce Features

- Aquatherm® Material

- Sewn and taped seams

- Elasticated, adjustable and locking draw cord to tighten the waist tube around you to keep water out. (Adjustable Waist Decks Only)

Deck Options

Fixed Waist Decks

The Aquatherm fixed waist spray decks incorporates the waist tube as a straight up ready to go fit.

Sizes from Small to XXL (28''/72cm to 40''/102cm)

Minimal profile design waist tube to work in conjunction with Paddle Suit and/or Cag waist seals providing extra protection from water encroachment while paddling

Adjustable Waist Decks

The Aquatherm® adjustable waist tube decks allow a much larger range of fitting compared to the fixed waist, ideal if sharing a spray deck or to accommodate base-layers meaning you will only require the one deck for many options through out the seasons paddling

Females often benefit from the adjustable deck waist tube as the design accommodates the natural curves of the paddler to make a more comfortable fit and matching the performance of a fixed waist deck.

Map-Loops Option

Four D' rings; two on either side of the forward deck, allows you to run an elastic cord through to make your own webbing for securing items closer to yourself during a paddle such as maps, drink bottles or other required kit. Very handy on the Keyhole decks where the deck is larger.

Bale-Hole Option

A dry bag entry to the inner cockpit through a sleeve without removing the Spray Deck, much safer than removing the deck during paddling. Originally used for bailing out water from the kayak with a bilge pump the Bale-Hole is also useful for putting away or retrieving kit while on the water. the Bale-hole rolls up and is fastened to keep the deck water-tight when not in use. The entry has a 38cm circumference allowing even larger hands entry into the cockpit. 

How do I wash and care for my Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece® garments?

 

For Aquatherm®, Super-stretch Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece®:

• Turn the garment inside out.
• Use a short, warm, delicate wash with a maximum temp 40 degrees C° in mild soapy water (not detergent). 
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry. 
• Do not spin. 
• Do not wring. 
• Do not tumble dry.
• Do not iron.
• Do not bleach. 
• Do not dry over hot radiators or near excessive heat.
• Hang garments from their cuffs and neck to ensure that if there should be any water ingress in the double fabric seals then it can drain easily.

Why is there water in the cuffs/neck seals of my aquatherm garment?

Sometimes the double fabric cuffs, neck & ankle seals make take in small amounts of water during use or when washed. This can be easily remedied when drying the garment by hanging it on the line by its cuffs, neck or ankle seals, thus allowing any water to drain out.

The possible ingress of water into cuffs, neck & ankle seals will not compromise the serviceability of your garment, it is due to taping on the knitted surface on the inside of the garments. The garment itself remains waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable. We see any small ingress issue as a minor trade-off against the excellent features of a comfortable knitted surface on the inside of Reed garments and non-splitting, non-latex, comfortable double Aquatherm cuffs & seals.
