In New Zealand most of our rivers and lakes are cold. In a packraft you are going to get wet. If you have a self-bailer it’s wet all the time. In a spray deck model it’s always a possibility.
After equipping yourself with a packraft, a comfortable PFD, a helmet and a paddle, the next item is a dry suit. Wetsuits are OK, but they’re not comfortable and they are very constricting.
A dry suit will change your life. If it’s not cold you’re still going to be wet and exposed. If it’s cold or windy or the water is glacial, a dry suit is a game changer. You just adjust the layering and you can wear your thermals underneath.
Capsize? No problem.
Do a course, know what to do, and get back paddling without the fear of a freezing dip.
We order your Dry Suit based on your requirements, delivery typically takes 3 weeks to anywhere in the world.
The women’s model has a larger zip in the seat for calls of nature, and all our dry suits come with a unique internal pocket for storage of essentials like car keys, medication, credit card.
