Kokatat Dry Suits

About

When you think about Kokatat dry suits, most likely the first thing that comes to mind is quality. They've been building dry suits since the 1980's. Kokatat is one of the longest-standing GORE-TEX licensees in the world, and for many years, they were the exclusive user of GORE-TEX fabrics in the paddle sports market. Kokatat worked with W.L. Gore for 4 years on the development of the new GORE-TEX PRO laminate. Kokatat dry suits have been using this newer version since the 2022 season. GORE-TEX PRO was engineered specifically to reduce the carbon footprint by using recycled fabrics to reduce water usage and CO2 emissions during production. Team tested and well loved by the Kokatat athletes, GORE-TEX PRO is the most rugged and durable waterproof/breathable fabric available for paddle sports outerwear. Add in Kokatat's tried and true dry suit designs and you've got the winning combination for paddling dry wear! Kokatat starts their GORE-TEX PRO dry suit line with the rafters', and other non-skirted adventurers' favorite, the Men's and Women's Kokatat Legacy GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit. These suits feature a covered front chest entry zipper as well as a covered drop seat zipper for women or a front relief zipper for men. In the skirted Gore dry suits, you've got a choice of zippered entry into the suits. The most popular, and the one that sets the standard for dry suits, is the front entry zippered version of the Men's and Women's Meridian GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit. If you prefer a back zippered entry, then your choice would be the Icon GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit available in men's and women's versions. And last, but not least, is the Men's and Women's Idol GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit featuring SwitchZip technology which separates completely at the waist, giving you the versatility of a dry suit and dry top in one garment!
