When the water calls, you need kit that works as hard as you do. For paddlers who want comfort, protection, and performance all in one, the Yak Apollo Cag and Yak Chinook Pants are a winning combination. Designed for sea kayaking, touring, and year-round paddling, this duo gives you warmth, dryness, and freedom of movement so you can focus on the adventure ahead.

The Yak Apollo Cag 

Built with DX10K 2.5-layer fabric, the Apollo Cag is both waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry without sacrificing comfort. This makes it perfect for long days on the water where conditions can change quickly.

Key Highlights:

• High storm collar & adjustable hood – stay protected from wind, rain, and spray with a hi-vis, fully adjustable hood that deploys when needed.
• Latex inner wrist seals – combined with PU over-cuffs for a watertight fit.
• Twin-waist system – designed to pair seamlessly with spray decks.
• Seamless underarm technology & 3-way cut sleeves – freedom of movement without restriction.
• Fleece-lined moisture vents – chin-friendly comfort with built-in breathability.
• Practical pockets & reflective detailing – keep essentials close and stay visible on the water.
• Smart design touches – laser-cut zips, drainage holes, and durable finishing throughout. 

Ideal for: sea kayaking, touring, and paddleboarding — wherever you need reliable waterproof protection.

The Yak Chinook Pants 

To match the Apollo, the Yak Chinook Pants are designed with paddlers in mind. Using the same DX10K 2.5-layer waterproof fabric, these trousers are built to handle tough conditions while remaining breathable and comfortable.

Key Highlights:

• Reinforced seat and knees – with durable 500D Cordura fabric in high-wear areas.
• Twin-waist system – connect with a Yak twin-waist jacket (like the Apollo) to form a two-piece drysuit.
• Latex ankle seals with adjustable cuffs – watertight protection where it matters most.
• Performance cut legs – pre-shaped for freedom of movement while paddling or portaging.
• Secure waistband – double-layered with grip band to prevent slipping. 

Ideal for: kayaking, canoeing, and touring in all seasons. Wear them alone in milder weather or combine with the Apollo Cag for full protection.

Why Choose the Apollo & Chinook Combo? 

Together, the Yak Apollo Cag and Yak Chinook Pants give paddlers a flexible system:

Wear separately for adaptable comfort. Pair using the twin-waist system to create a near-drysuit seal for ultimate dryness. Built to last with reinforced, durable fabrics designed for paddling. 

If you’re looking for gear that extends your season, keeps you dry, and gives you the freedom to enjoy every moment on the water, this combination is hard to beat.

What Our Customers Are Saying

• “I like the versatility of the Chinooks and Apollo compared to a drysuit. With the jacket, I can add or remove layers much more easily.”

• “I prefer the ease of separates. The jacket is so much easier to get on than a drysuit.”

• “One note—check the sizing of the Chinooks. They have quite a slim waist, so you may need a larger size than usual. But once you get the right fit, they’re excellent."
