Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
We haven’t had much Level Six gear in for review at Unsponsored but from the odd bits we’ve seen, got hold of, and used it has been pretty good stuff.
The Canadian company have updated their range and this includes double stitching the rand on the Ace and King spray skirts. Which we think look very interesting.
Did you know that UK based Palm Equipment can make you a custom cagdeck?
You can take any of their cags and decks and have them custom made into a cagdeck.
A surprise parcel landed at Unsponsored HQ this week, a brand new 2017 Palm Impact spray skirt. We’ve had an older one of these in at the HQ a couple of years back and it proved to be an awesome skirt.
The Palm Impact spray skirt is Palm’s top end bungee corded offering.
For 2017 Palm have updated the design so that it now includes a few tweaks.
Sam Ellis is another big fan of Immersion Research decks. Here is an edit he has put together from a recent trip to Italy.

My thoughts on the Immersion Research Royale are as follows:

After reading through some old threads on liquid latex, I found some good reviews on the stuff but no pictures of how people got on, so I thought I’d share with you the pics of my repaired spray deck. Time for a little spray deck modification.
My spray deck had always been fairly loose fitting so I could get it off easier in a panic, but now as my confidence has built up, I wanted a tighter fitting deck to keep me drier in pushier water or waves.
Immersion Research have made some series tweaks to their Royale spraydeck. Here’s what they have done:
We have listened to customer feedback and put on a new grab handle that retains the high vis brightness and adds a little extra grip.
I’ve been using Palm’s Impact spraydeck for a few months now and am ready to feedback on its performance to date. Thanks to Palm Equipment and Northshore Watersports (for piggy backing delivery) I have a Palm Impact that replaces the Extreme as Palm’s top end neoprene bungee deck. First impressions are good. The deck looks and feels solid. It is well made and the black/lime colour scheme is bang on trend!
On the outside there is a protective 4mm Armortex reinforcement to increase the robustness of the deck. This should make the Impact of interest to those who put their decks through a rough time.
For the past few years I have been using Immersion Research decks for both playboating and creek duties.
