Werner Bandit 1PC Straight F/G Paddle

[ band - it ]

Built for technical river runners and slalom canoeists who want a paddle that earns its name on the water. The Bandit is Werner's aggressive whitewater canoe paddle, designed to deliver a powerful, confident catch and the kind of precise control that demanding open canoe paddling requires.

The spooned power face creates immediate, assertive blade engagement at the catch, giving you the grip in the water needed to drive hard strokes, execute quick corrections, and stay in control when lines get tight. Fibreglass blade construction keeps swing weight manageable without sacrificing Werner's Bomber-grade durability, and the translucent Amber laminate finish is a standout on the river. Dihedral on the power face maintains smooth, flutter-free forward strokes even when you're pushing hard through technical sections.

Control details matter on a canoe paddle, and Werner has thought them through here. The oval shaft index lets you feel blade orientation without looking down, which keeps your focus on the water ahead. The enhanced ABS T-grip is shaped for maximum grip security and built to take the abuse that whitewater inevitably delivers. A solid one-piece straight shaft construction keeps the feel direct and responsive from grip to blade.
