NRS Explorer Dry Suit

The GlideSkin neoprene seal is significantly more comfortable and less restrictive than latex, making it ideal for paddlers who find latex gaskets irritating or claustrophobic. While it offers a slightly less watertight seal than latex, it provides a great balance of comfort and protection for most cold-water paddling conditions.

This is a semi-dry suit, not a fully dry suit. While the four-layer Eclipse fabric and waterproof zippers are highly effective at keeping water out during splashes or brief immersions, the neoprene neck seal may allow a small amount of water to seep in if you are fully submerged for an extended period.

Yes, it is versatile enough for canoeing, stand-up paddling, and other cold-water sports. The articulated design and breathable fabric ensure you maintain a good range of motion regardless of your preferred paddling discipline.

Because the suit is breathable, you should layer with synthetic or wool base layers to manage moisture and retain heat. Avoid cotton, as it will hold moisture against your skin and make you colder.

The socks are made from the same durable Eclipse fabric as the suit and feature reinforced seams, but they are not designed for walking on abrasive surfaces. We recommend wearing a pair of water shoes or sandals over the socks to protect them from rocks, sand, and debris.

The suit features a dedicated TIZIP relief zipper located on the chest, allowing for quick and convenient relief without having to remove the entire suit. It is designed to be easily accessible even while wearing a life jacket.
