Kokatat Legacy GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit

GORE-TEX Pro is a three-layer membrane specifically engineered for extreme durability and breathability. It is significantly more rugged than standard waterproof fabrics, making it ideal for the abrasion and heavy use associated with cold-water paddling.

Yes, the latex gaskets at the neck and wrists are standard components that can be replaced. Kokatat offers repair services, or you can perform the replacement yourself if you have the necessary adhesive and tools.

You will need to wear a pair of water shoes or paddling booties over the integrated fabric socks. The socks are designed to keep water out, but they are not reinforced for walking on rocky or abrasive surfaces.

The front-entry design is generally intuitive and accessible, allowing you to zip and unzip the suit without assistance. However, it is always a good practice to ensure the zipper is fully closed and clear of debris before heading out to maintain the watertight seal.

No, the Legacy Dry Suit features a streamlined design and does not include any pockets. This minimalist approach reduces bulk and potential snag points while you are on the water.

Rinse the suit with fresh water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater. Periodically wash it with a technical fabric cleaner and reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer layer to ensure the fabric continues to shed water effectively.
