Kokatat Odyssey Dry Suit

Yes, the Odyssey features integrated GORE-TEX socks. This design creates a complete seal against water when paired with your preferred paddling shoes.

The hood is a stowable GORE-TEX Paclite shell. It tucks away neatly when not in use, so it won't interfere with your paddling stroke or visibility.

The front-entry zipper is positioned to minimize restriction across the chest and shoulders. It allows for easier self-entry compared to rear-entry models while maintaining a full range of motion for paddling.

Yes, the latex neck and wrist gaskets are standard and can be replaced if they wear out over time. Kokatat offers repair services, or you can replace them yourself if you are comfortable with the process.

Yes, it is equipped with a relief zipper. This is a critical feature for extended time on the water, allowing you to take care of business without having to remove the entire suit.

Because this is a shell, you should layer based on water and air temperature. Use moisture-wicking base layers and insulating mid-layers like fleece or wool, avoiding cotton entirely to ensure the breathability of the GORE-TEX fabric works effectively.
