Werner is not the least expensive paddle out there, but it is one of the best! And, despite that, they are competitively priced!
Just one example of the Werner quality is their patented ferrule system. It is rock solid, even after years of use. Instead of just 2 or 3 choices for feather setting, there are enough optons for even the most particular paddler. It is easy to use enroute and has the fewest possible moving parts. And new for 2009 is a flush buton so you don't feel it or accidentally disconnect your touring paddle.Right now, we have the 2009 paddles available in store. Until the end of December, we are holding the 2008 prices, but we expect the price to go up for next season thanks to the sluggish Canadian dollar. If you have been looking at a Werner paddle, now is the time to get one (or add it to you Christmas wish list!).
