Comments about NRS Stampede Shorty Play Jacket - Closeout:
very useful for those in between days when the sun is warm but the water is still in the 40s. Gives me the protection I'll need when submerged in cold water without overheating.

Comments about NRS Stampede Shorty Play Jacket - Closeout:
The Stampede Shorty fits well and was exactly what I needed for those in between days...
I have not had the chance to try it out on the water yet, but will report more once I've done so.
Gave 4* for now, could be a 5* depending on performance on the water.

Bought this as a first dry top for my daughter who has been kayaking for a couple of years. It was recommended by her instructor and will be perfect this summer when she's kayaking the NC mtn rivers this summer at camp.

Comments about NRS Stampede Shorty Play Jacket - Closeout:
I purchased one of these tops at an NRS affiliated retailer. There was only one XL left, and someone else was interested in it; so I jumped at it without trying it on. When I got it home, and couldn't return it, I discovered that the sizing is more Unisex than Mens; and instead of an XL, I really needed an XXL. That was a major disappointment, because the glideskin neck and biceps are a really cool combination of neoprene on the outside and rubber on the inside; keeping the water out without choking you to death. Guess I should grab an XXL on sale now LOL.

Q:
Trying to decide between the shorty and longsleeve, Just wondering what temps this could work in. I feel like the longsleeve could be too warm in 60 degree weather, really unsure wondering if some users can tell me when they used it. Also sizing, I have a medium payette jacket, would the sizing be the same. Thanks!Asked on 4/16/2013 by Matt from TC, Michigan7 answers

A:
I have a longsleeve Kokatat drytop with latex gaskets and the Stampede Shorty top with the neoprene gaskets also. I paddle in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. I use the longsleeve the most but I do paddle right through the winter. Its April and the air temps are in the 50s and 60s but the water temps are still around 40s so the long sleeve gets used with a light layer underneath. I'm paddlingwhite water and get splashed alot and roll sometimes and this keeps me cool even when the air temp is a bit higher. The shorty top comes out when the air temp is hot but the water still cold like a dam release from the bottom say 80 degress but the water is 40, if the water gets above 55 and the air temp is above 80 then it is poly T shirt or rash guard time. The true dry top and dry pants gets the most use, the underneath insulating layers come off as it warms, then the bottoms, then the top goes shorty, then poly T unless the water is real cold then it could be shorty top in 90 degree weather. Old saying was full dry gear until water and air combined are over 120. Meet a Colorado couple who wear full dry gear year round. Its more about water temp than air but you don't want to overheat either. I'm 5'9" tall and 175LB with 40" chest and usually a medium and the medium shorty fits perfect.Answered on 4/17/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

Shorty is very warm. 60 degrees is about the break point when I switch to
long sleeve if play boating and going to role a lot, warmer is always
better.
Sizing I have found is rather small. I take a large in a shirt and
sweatshirt but and xl in my shortyVERIFIED BUYER
A:
The shorty would work better if you are playing a lot or working a lot. But if you're just doing a little bit of river running or creeking, the long sleeved would be better. Hope that helps!Answered on 4/17/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I paddle a playboat, so I get wet. I dress for the water temperature. I
wear my flux (long-sleeve dry-top) when the water temp is in the 60s and
below. my stampede (shorty) when it's above.Answered on 4/16/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Find it really comfortable in 65 degree and warmer, breathes really well. Fit is relatively accurate, I wear a medium for Kokatat, Immersion Research, and this fits just right.
Anything less than 65 degrees, I usually opt for long-sleeve.
Hope that helps! Happy paddling.Answered on 4/16/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Get the shorty. It's great for warm or cold. Add nice dry layer underneath
for really cold. Sizing is true, just get your normal size.Answered on 4/16/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I wear my long sleeve dry top until it gets around 80 or so. Water temp has alot to do with my decision too.Answered on 4/16/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
I bought the Stampede and was wondering if the neck gasket be trimmed? Thanks!Asked on 4/14/2013 by Trekkingtn from Murfreesboro, TN3 answers

A:
Sorry for the delay in replying. I had to dig out the jacket to double-check. I have way too many paddling jackets/dry tops. The one I have has a neoprene neck closure, not latex. So I would recommend NOT trimming it like you would with a traditional dry top. Mine fits perfectly as received from NRS.. Being neoprene it is water resistant, not water proof. Some water will find its way in. So the fit on the neck closure is not all that critical as compared to a true dry top/ dry suit. It is a nice paddling jacket. It is usually my go-to jacket for warmer weather day trips. I sometimes layer long sleeve Hydrosilk below if a little arm sun protection is necessary.
Let me know if I can be of any other assistance.

A:
before you do any cutting, try this--spray the neck with gasket conditioner and place the neck over a large size soft drink bottle overnite to gently stretch itAnswered on 4/16/2013 by Anonymous
A:
It can be trimmed. However, it will stretch a bit over time.Answered on 4/15/2013 by Clyde from NRS
