So I've been working on bringing a killer kayak gear company into the states for the past couple of months and I would like to say, we can all get a little Nookie now.  I have shown the products to a couple shops, thrown multiple samples out to paddlers to test, and I will tell you, the possative feedback is amazing.  Nookie has several unique designs and material options.  One item that has had nothing but rave reviews by testers is, the Zone Shell.  It is made of a 3 ply waterproof material (gore tex like) with a deep spray tunnel.  The unique feature is the latex free gaskets (a titanium coated neoprene) on the neck and wrists, with another layer of protection from the neoprene gasket covers.  The days of neck rash, changing gaskets every other season, and feeling like your head will pop off are over.  Plus, paddlers with latex allergies have been emailing me in droves to get one.   We should see them on the shop racks in select US retailers in the first months of 2008.  Until then, email me on geting one sooner  dragorossinorthwest@yahoo.com   For more info on Nookie products, visit  www.nookie.co.uk   and downlaod the catalog
