PeakUK Tourlite
Storm Hoody
www.peakuk.com
By Peter Tranter

The Tourlite looks quite unique in the
flesh. Lightweight, waterproof, abrasion
resistant, breathable X2.5 Ripstop Nylon
and the individual styling make for a
completely different kind of look, which
is hard to ignore as signified by the SUP
Inflation Day on the Thames in March,
where the Tourlite gained plenty of
attention from fellow paddlers.
The Tourlite slips on with ease and is a doddle to
secure. Wrist neoprene seals with Velcro
adjustment, grip as tight as you like. There’s a
single neoprene waist and a very adjustable large
hood, which has dual sided elastic cords to
adjust to a perfect fit with a storm flap to keep
the rain out. Everything about the Tourlite has a
very reassuring quality feel with smart reflective
detailing as you would expect from a company
with the reputation and standing of PeakUK.
The Tourlite Storm will keep wind and moisture
at bay with ease and to ensure excellent levels
of performance and comfort, which is aided by
the articulated arms and shoulders for greater
freedom of movement and a zipped
venting front. Two large zipped side
pockets allow for decent storage.
In summary, PeakUK’s Tourlite
straddles many areas of
paddling from sea kayaking,
kayak fishing and touring to
stand up paddling. Layer up

correctly underneath for chilly sessions and it will
protect you from all but the harshest of
elements.
The Tourlite is also available in short and long
arm versions with an Aquaout neck seal.
The Tourlite Hoody has been
granted the Glenmore Lodge Seal
of Approval and that should be all
the recommendation any paddler
should need.
