Kokatat Custom Men’s Hydrus Meridian Dry Suit
Your Suit. Your Way.
Order a Kokatat Custom Men’s Hydrus Meridian Dry Suit through AQ Outdoors and build a dry suit that is tailored specifically to you, from custom colour combinations to personalized fit support. Instead of settling for an off-the-rack suit, our team helps you choose the right size, dial in your measurements, and create a one-of-a-kind Meridian dry suit built for your paddling style.
How Custom Kokatat Ordering Works
Step 1: Build Online
Using the Kokatat Custom Suit Builder, select the drytop or drysuit you would like to customize. This is where you'll begin creating your personalized Kokatat gear.
Step 2: Customize!
Start with a standard colour option or go fully custom. From there, modify the available features for your chosen suit and add optional upgrades or extras to create the perfect setup for your paddling style.
Step 3: Sizing
Finish your build by selecting a standard size or entering your measurements using Kokatat's sizing calculator. Need help? Visit us in-store and our team can assist with measurements and fit recommendations before you place your order.
Step 4: Submit Your Order
Once your custom design is complete, select "Buy From Dealer" and download the PDF summary of your build. Email the PDF to AQ Outdoors for assistance, or send it to us after placing your order so we can help ensure everything is correct before production begins.
The Men’s Hydrus Meridian Dry Suit is built for paddlers who want proven dry suit performance, comfort, and value in a men’s-specific custom fit. Based on Kokatat’s trusted Meridian platform, this Hydrus version uses waterproof-breathable Hydrus 3.0 fabric with integrated Hydrus Tough seat and knee reinforcements for added durability where it matters most.
AQ Outdoors does not accept returns or exchanges on customized dry suits. Custom suit orders can't be modified or cancelled once submitted to Kokatat. Orders for custom suits ship 4-5 weeks from order date.
Custom Colours – Build a Dry Suit That Looks Like Yours
Kokatat’s custom program lets you choose colour combinations so your Meridian dry suit feels personal before it ever hits the water. Whether you want something bright and easy to spot on the river or a cleaner low-profile look, AQ Outdoors can help you walk through the custom options and place the order correctly.
Custom Fit Support – Measured for Comfort, Mobility & Dryness
Fit matters in a dry suit. Too tight and it restricts paddling; too loose and it can bunch under your PFD, sprayskirt, or layering system. When you order through AQ Outdoors, we can help you take the right measurements, choose the best men’s size, and confirm fit details so your custom Meridian dry suit is built around you.
Hydrus Meridian Performance – Front-Entry Comfort & All-Day Dry Protection
The Men’s Hydrus Meridian Dry Suit uses Hydrus 3.0 waterproof-breathable fabric and includes a front-entry waterproof zipper for easier entry and exit. The men’s front relief zipper, integrated Hydrus 3.0 socks, latex neck and wrist gaskets, dual-adjustable overskirt, and reinforced seat and knees make it a versatile choice for whitewater, sea kayaking, cold-water paddling, instruction, and multi-day river trips.

Yes. The Meridian is a versatile dry suit platform for whitewater, sea kayaking, cold-water paddling, instruction, river running, and rescue-focused paddling.
What is Hydrus 3.0 fabric?
