Overview
Built for wet, exposed conditions on the water, this pullover is designed to help keep you dry when weather turns rough. Its 100% seam-sealed Hydrapore Pro 2-layer shell includes a 15K/10K waterproof/breathability rating, while internal waterproof neoprene cuffs, a center front storm flap, and an adjustable hem and sleeve cuffs add extra protection. The oversized fleece-lined collar and 3-position hood are practical touches for long hours in changing conditions, and the two waterproof storage pockets provide secure space for small essentials and a smartphone. Reflective stripe hits at the upper elbow and a kill switch D-ring round out a design focused on boat-ready utility.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The pullover design offers weather protection, but it is less open and ventilated than a jacket with a full front zip or more adjustable venting options.
- The 15K/10K waterproof/breathability rating and seam-sealed construction are built for wet conditions, but they do not eliminate the need to manage heat and moisture during high-output activity.
- Storage is limited to 2 exterior waterproof pockets, so it provides secure space for small essentials rather than larger gear.
- The hood is adjustable and can stay secure over a baseball cap, but that fit may feel more specialized than a lower-profile hood when a cap is not being worn.
