The newly designed products within the 2026 Semi-Dry Collection is built for paddlers who want lightweight comfort, dependable dryness, and sustainability without compromise. From the expedition-ready Haida and Kenora to the performance-focused Australis and Solstice, these tops bring the same paddler-driven design philosophy and Exhaust Lite fabric story to a range of fits and paddling styles. PFAS-free, 100% recycled, and engineered specifically for paddlesports, Exhaust Lite delivers the breathability, waterproofing, and packability today’s customers demand — all while answering the growing call for a true Gore-Tex alternative.

With gender-specific fits, thoughtful features, and clean, modern styling, this lineup gives you the cutting edge of what paddling gear can be.

The Haida Women’s Semi-Dry Top and Kenora Semi-Dry Top are built to give touring, sea kayaking, and canoeing customers the perfect balance of protection, comfort, and versatility. Both designs are intended for use with a spray skirt, offering paddlers a drier, more secure option without the restrictions of a full dry top. The neck closure system is adapted from our professional rescue suits and has been re-engineered for the recreational paddler. This delivers a softer, more forgiving seal that still keeps water out when conditions turn rough. For added convenience, both tops can be rolled into their own hood for compact storage. This is ideal for paddlers with limited gear space. Constructed from our Exhaust Lite 2.5-ply fabric, these tops are PFAS-free, 100% recycled, and twice as breathable and waterproof as our previous generation. The Haida also debuts Level Six’s new women’s fit, which is the result of our industry-first Freya Fit Survey, giving female paddlers a pattern built from the ground up, with shaping and proportions informed by real-world data rather than scaled-down men’s designs.

The Australis Semi-Dry Top and Solstice Women’s Semi-Dry Top are purpose-built for paddlers who need maximum freedom of movement without compromising dryness or comfort.Designed for use with a spray skirt, both tops feature our provenExhaust Lite2.5-ply fabric — PFAS-free, 100% recycled, and delivering twice the real-world breathability and waterproofing of our previous generation. This fabric keeps paddlers dry and comfortable on long days while meeting the rising demand for sustainable, high-performance gear. The neck and bicep gaskets use our comfort neoprene punch-through design to create a soft, reliable seal that’s easy to get on and off, with rolled edges for added durability. A double tunnel with silicone inner scrim and our Stealth Cinch System ensures a secure skirt seal and a streamlined fit for all-day wear.
