Why We Like The Kokotat Hydrus 3.0 Meridian Dry Suit

Dry suits may be expensive, but the Kokatat Hydrus 3.0 Meridian Dry Suit gets us into a quality suit at a more affordable price. The brand's own Hydrus 3.0 membrane provides both waterproof and breathable protection, offering a cost-effective alternative to GORE-TEX. The suit's latex gaskets with neoprene covers create a secure seal at the neck and wrist, ensuring that waves and water stay out. With waterproof zippers on the chest pocket and relief zipper, we can be confident that we'll stay dry in any conditions. Additionally, the suit features an overskirt that keeps our kayak drier while rolling or playing, and the diagonal, front-entry zipper makes it easy to put on and take off the suit. Manufactured in the USA, the Meridian includes many of the premium features found in Kokatat's higher-end dry suits, all at a budget-friendly price.
