First Thought - Sweet Drysuit

First Thought - Sweet Drysuit

Posted by Dave Prothero on 2017 Mar 21st

I picked up the drysuit in mid December of 2016. Over the last 3 months paddling on the rivers of Vancouver Island, it has been put to the test. 

- The material feels very reliable and durable. With approximately 30days in the suit, it has very little wear.

- Hiking into the rivers through snow and that ever present BC bush it has kept me warm and dry!

- The blue colour, which i am loving, has remained vivid.

- It has been used in whitewater kayaking, saltwater paddling, and some river rafting adventures. 

Being 6'2" with size 13 feet, I ordered the large. The feet are snug when wearing heavier socks. Otherwise the large provides me with good movement and room to wear a few layers underneath.

Look forward to paddling through spring in this great piece of kit.
