Stohlquist Ez Drysuit

Stohlquist Ez Drysuit

Description

The Stohlquist EZ Drysuit is made with Stohlquist's new 4-layer drywear fabric called Twin Sensor. This fabric is designed with the best DWR treatments, durable nylon shell fabrics, and waterproof/breathable treatments to provide the ultimate protection and comfort.

One of the key features of the EZ Drysuit is the comfortable and dry super-stretch neoprene neck gasket. Stohlquist offers customized aftermarket fittings on the neck gasket to ensure the best possible fit for every individual.

The suit also comes with new duraseal wrist gaskets that offer superior UV resistance and excellent tear resistance. The breathable fabric drysocks are not only comfortable but also easy to enter and universally sized.

The Stohlquist EZ Drysuit is equipped with sleek and articulated armored knees, providing additional protection and flexibility. It also features arm and thigh pockets that are well placed for limited interference and easy access to your belongings.

Here are some specifications of the suit:

  • Material: Nylon
  • Washing Instructions: Hand Wash
  • 4 Layer Twin Sensor Waterproof/Breathable Fabric: Nylon Shell Fabric with DWR Finish, Hydrophobic/Microporous Coating, Laminated Membrane, Nylon tricot lining
  • Super Stretch Neoprene Neck Gasket. MasterSeal waterproof cross-chest entry and relief zippers. Cordura reinforced seat and knees with mesh drainers
  • Fabric drysocks are universally sized
  • Washing Instructions: Hand Wash Soap and Water
  • Country of Origin: USA

Now let's address some frequently asked questions:

Q: I'm 6'1", 230lbs with broad shoulders, would an XL fit?

A: I'm 6'2", 220lbs with broad shoulders, 33" waist, and 17" neck. The suit itself has plenty of room, actually kind of baggy in the seat and waist area. The only issue I faced was with the neck seal, which felt a little tight for about an hour or two. However, I eventually got used to it. The suit is fairly light and you don't really feel it when it's worn.

Q: I am six foot nine inches tall, will the XXL fit me? 38" inseam, 37" sleeve, size 14 shoe (I have booties).

A: Yes, the XXL size should fit you.

Q: I am 187cm / 81kg. I want to buy a winter kayaking suit. What size should I buy?

A: You should buy a Large size.

Q: I ordered the Stohlquist EZ Drysuit. My measurements are closer to the Large size, but I ordered the XL. Should I have ordered the Large?

A: I ordered the XL to get my shoulders into it. The rest of the suit is rather loose. I am 6'2", 215lbs, 33" waist, 46" chest, and 38" sleeve. The XL size fits up top but is very roomy from the chest down.

Things we like

  • a drysuit in the front-entry type that has a relief zipper
  • Has integrated universal-fit dry socks
  • Increased mobility thanks to articulated armor plating on the knees
  • adjustable cuff seals as well as a neoprene neck gasket
  • strips with reflective material for increased visibility

Things we don't like

  • It is necessary to wash one's hands using both soap and water.
  • Not as breathable as cloth made from Gore-Tex.
  • The neoprene neck seal will most likely allow some water to get through it.
