Kokatat Odyssey Dry Suit

Yes, the Odyssey uses a rugged 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction specifically designed to withstand the abrasion and harsh conditions typical of off-shore sea kayaking.

The front-entry zipper makes it significantly easier to put on and take off the suit without assistance, which is a major advantage if you are prepping for a launch solo.

Yes, the Odyssey is equipped with a relief zipper, which is an essential feature for long days on the water.

Latex gaskets are the industry standard for a watertight seal, but they are susceptible to UV damage and ozone degradation. You should rinse them with fresh water after every use and apply a UV protectant like 303 Aerospace Protectant to extend their lifespan.

The stowable GORE-TEX Paclite hood is designed to be deployed when conditions turn rough. It provides excellent protection against wind and spray while paddling, though some users prefer to stow it when the weather is calm to maintain better peripheral vision.

The internal suspenders help distribute the weight of the suit across your shoulders, preventing the legs from sagging and ensuring the suit stays in a comfortable position while you are seated in your kayak.
