Getting into a well-made, fully-featured drysuit doesn't have to mean paying top dollar for GORE-TEX, and the Kokatat Hydrus 3.0 Meridian makes a compelling case for that.

Built in Kokatat's Arcata, California factory to the same construction standards as the GORE-TEX Meridian, this suit uses Kokatat's proprietary Hydrus 3.0 three-layer fabric, which delivers genuine waterproof breathability at a more accessible price point. Watersports nylon entry and relief zippers are pliable and comfortable against the body, and the relief zipper includes a protective cover for added weather resistance. Reinforced 330D Hydrus Tough patches at the seat and knees add durability where abrasion is most likely, keeping the suit in service through a long Canadian paddling season and beyond.

The feature set matches what paddlers expect from a serious drysuit: latex gaskets at the neck and wrists with neoprene punch-through collar and cuffs, integrated Hydrus 3.0 socks, a dual-adjustable neoprene overskirt, and a self-draining zippered chest pocket with key lanyard. Every suit is 100% fill tested before leaving the factory and backed by Kokatat's limited lifetime warranty.
