Level Six Juneau Semi Dry Top

What makes the Level Six Juneau different?

The Juneau combines the protective construction of advanced paddling outerwear with a more comfortable, adjustable neck closure.

Unlike a full dry top with a latex neck gasket, the Juneau uses an adjustable latex-free neck closure system. This makes it a strong option for paddlers who prioritise neck comfort while still wanting secure latex seals at the wrists and a double-tunnel waist designed to help reduce water entry.

Designed for cold-weather paddling

A fleece-lined collar provides warmth and comfort around the neck, while the angular quarter-zip opening makes the top easier to ventilate and adjust.

The storm flap incorporates laser-cut ventilation holes, helping manage airflow around the collar. When conditions deteriorate, the fixed adjustable hood provides additional coverage from wind, spray and rain.

Durable where it matters

The Juneau uses two different eXhaust waterproof-breathable fabrics to balance durability and weight:

• Shoulders and arms: eXhaust 3-ply waterproof-breathable nylon for increased durability in high-wear areas
• Torso: eXhaust 2.5-ply waterproof-breathable nylon to keep the jacket lighter
• Main material: 100% recycled nylon

The cut is designed to provide an unrestricted range of movement, allowing you to paddle efficiently without the jacket pulling excessively across the shoulders or arms.

Semi-dry sealing system

The Juneau features:

• Latex wrist gaskets
• An adjustable latex-free neck closure
• An overlapping double waist tunnel
• A dual-cinch waistband system

The double tunnel is designed to work with a compatible spraydeck tunnel, creating overlapping layers around the waist for a drier and more secure paddling setup.

As a semi-dry top, the Juneau is designed to reduce water entry rather than provide the fully watertight neck seal associated with a latex-gasket dry top.

Practical cold-weather features

A zippered, dual-entry hand-warmer pocket provides a place to warm your hands when resting or waiting on the water. Its fleece lining adds comfort in colder conditions, while YKK AquaGuard zips help protect the jacket’s zipped openings from water and spray.

Tested dry-wear construction

Level Six specifies the following construction processes for the Juneau:

• Pre-glued and double-rolled seams
• Specialised seam tape for a stronger bond
• Strength-tested seams
• Individually pressure-tested dry-wear construction
  
  

Who is the Level Six Juneau suitable for?

The Juneau is suited to paddlers looking for:

• Cold-weather kayaking protection
• A comfortable alternative to a latex neck gasket
• Waterproof-breathable paddling outerwear
• Greater durability around the arms and shoulders
• A hooded paddling top for changing conditions
• A double-tunnel waist for use with a compatible spraydeck
• A balance of protection, mobility and everyday comfort
  
  

Is the Level Six Juneau a dry top?

The Juneau is a semi-dry top, not a full dry top. It uses latex wrist gaskets but has an adjustable latex-free neck closure rather than a watertight latex neck gasket.

This arrangement provides greater neck comfort and adjustability, but it may allow more water entry around the neck than a correctly fitted full dry top.
