Whitewater cags are especially designed for ease of movement for the whitewater paddler. Providing protection from rough conditions, whitewater cags need to be close fitting so as not to snag. But at the same time, flexible enough to allow freedom of movement of both the arms and the waist.
Many of the cags that are suitable for whitewater kayaking come in both short and long sleeved varieties. The shortsleeved variants are better for warmer conditions, where the thermal protection can be sacrificed for additional freedom. |
