Paddling Drysuit Buyer's Guide
Front Zip vs Rear Zip Dry Suit
Supply chain issues continue to strain the outdoor industry, but sometimes there are upsides. Kokatat has long been dedicated to sustainable practices throughout their Arcata, CA factory and supply chain, and when they were informed of more substantial delays coming down the pipe with Gore, they got scrappy... literally. They worked out a way to offer their most popular suits (Icon, Meridian and Legacy) in this limited-edition collection made with remnant GORE-TEX PRO fabric colors.
Paddlers looking to ditch the bulk up front will appreciate the Kokatat Mens Icon Dry Suit. It has the improved comfort and mobility of back-entry drysuits. It is extremely rugged and breathable. The next level of GORE-TEX® PRO material delivers uncompromised waterproof protection, premium comfort and maximum freedom of movement. The Kokatat Mens Icon Dry Suit combines progressive drysuit design with next-level construction.
