First Look: Chillcheater Aquatherm Tuilik [e]

Made of Chillcheater® Aquatherm fabric, this Tuilik provides a thermal barrier similar to a traditional wetsuit. In comparison to neoprene, it is lighter, more flexible and easier to get on and off.

The smooth polyurethane outer surface easily sheds water, minimizing the effects of windchill. The matte black finish also maximizes heat absorption from the sun and coupled with your body heat, it maintains a thin layer of warm water between your skin and the fabric.

Ultra lightweight and fast drying, it packs compactly for traveling and is more flexible than a traditional wetsuit. The stretchy and tough fabric is 20 times more abrasion-resistant than neoprene.

Essentially a Paddle Suit with built in deck(s) and a Tuiliq hood.

This unique and extremely functional garment combines all the elements of the Reed Chillcheater Aquatherm / Aquatherm Fleece Paddle Suits with the features of a Greenland Tuiliq.

Whilst it will prove an essential piece of gear for Greenland paddlers, The Aquatherm Tuiliq Paddle Suit makes a great all round Paddle Suit and deck combination.

With separates there is always the risk of water ingress - not so with a Tuiliq Paddle Suit.

Our neck and cuffs are made from a single layer of Aquatherm, replacing the older double layer version (sometimes shown in the product images).

The New type seals offer a better stretch and seal while maintaining its impressive integrity.

Made from a single layer of Aquatherm the material is inverted for comfort on the wrists. This gives the cuff seal a good firm degree of stretch and is far hardier than some other wrist seals.

Aquatherm cuffs are to be trimmed by the paddler to ensure a custom fit for your discipline whether comfort, performance or a mix of both is required, instructions supplied.

After Care

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