First up, what sort of paddling are you doing?

Walking or paddling I generally prefer hats to hoods as they
isolate me less from the environemnt (WW helmets excluded, obviously).

No. It does not, in general use anyway. I guess you're going to use this for
sea paddling?

Nah I love being able to pull that hood into tunnel vision mode when your
high up fully exposed and the H20 in whatever form is horizontal. That's a
hillwalking perspective but I guess you can't get much more exposed than
open water.
Oh, I'm hoping Andy will be more interested in sea/touring than ww.

Rule #1 for me is try on in person if you possibly can. Freedom of
movement is the #1 requirement and different cags have different cuts,
better or worse suited to the physique and style of individual paddlers,
and making sure that's right is worth paying extra for IMHO.

If you're in Scotland maybe pop over to Perth at the weekend and go to
the SCA show where there should be plenty to try on and see.

One thing touring cags seem to have which strikes me as a bit pointless
is various pockets... which will be obscured by your BA in any case.
But if you're on the sea make sure your BA has a good supply of pockets.

Pete,

cheers Pete,I'm working all weekend so cant go to the Perth show but i
am going to Aviemore tomorrow to try on some cag's,I've ordered the
nookie delta explorer ba, it has plenty of pockets on the front and a
large one on the back and as i wont be in the sea without it i don't
need any on the cag. cheers for the advice.

If anyone is interested Tiso in Glasgow are selling Palm 5 pocket BA's for
£50 ie half price. I bought one yesterday, colors are a bit loud but at the
price I'm not complaining.
