FAQs
When should I wear Vaikobi VDRY gear?

The VDRY range is designed for surface water sports where wind, spray, and light rain are the main elements to deal with — including dinghy sailing, paddling, kayaking, canoeing, and yacht sailing. It works best as an outer layer over a wetsuit or thermal base layer, blocking spray and wind without adding bulk or restricting movement.

  • VDRY ½ Zip Vest — a paddler favourite, ultra-lightweight with a versatile half-zip design for easy on and off on the water
  • VDRY Smock — a sailing staple, with waterproof taped seams to prevent water flushing up the sleeves and designed to be worn comfortably under a PFD
  • VDRY Jackets — versatile coverage for sailing, paddling, and wet weather onshore; a popular choice for yacht sailors and team gear

For the coldest conditions, pair VDRY gear with our VCOLD thermal range or a FlexForce wetsuit underneath for maximum protection.
