Tuilik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A Tuilik is a paddel jacket from Greenland, used when paddling a kayak. It is a jacket and a spray shirt integrated into one piece of clothing, which is sealed at the face, at the wrists and around the cockpit coaming. In this way the paddler can do a eskimo roll without getting wet, and without getting any water into his kayak. They were made from seal-skin.
