The Nova is a woman-specific dry top, constructed from a combination of Level Six’s eXhaust 3.0-ply waterproof-breathable nylon on high-wear areas like the shoulders and arms, while keeping the jacket light with their eXhaust 2.5-ply waterproof-breathable nylon on the torso. The Nova is designed to give you a completely unrestricted range of movement. The overlapping double tunnel and the Stealth waistband system work with your skirt tunnel to provide you with a drier seal and a better paddling experience.

- All of Level Six’s waterproof, breathable fabrics are made of 100% recycled nylon and are PFAS-free. This includes the fabric, membrane, and DWR on all of their exhaust fabrics
- PFAS, or long chain forever chemicals, have been the standard for durable water repellency for outdoor garments. They are also the industry's dirty secret
- These toxic chemicals never break down and growing research shows the overwhelming health and environmental problems that they cause
- Level Six has been working incredibly hard and have finally eliminated PFAS. They are incredibly proud of this achievement, and of continuing to hold themselves to the highest environmental standard. Level Six is also not alone in striving for this goal and are excited to be joined by the other industry partners in this sustainability milestone. This is another step on their sustainability journey, with much more work to come
