Kokatat - Womens Meridian Drysuit Hydrus 3.0

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. The updated leg pattern provides better articulation for improved mobility in the cockpit, and drop seat routing has been refined for improved comfort in the boat. Integrated Hydrus Tough reinforcement at the seat and knees adds 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 Ariaprene 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.
