Kokatat Meridian Dry Suit

The Meridian is patterned specifically for a woman's anatomy, offering a more tailored cut through the torso and hips. This ensures better mobility and comfort while paddling, preventing the excess bulk often found in unisex designs.

Yes, the drop-seat zipper is designed for quick and intuitive use. It allows you to manage relief needs without having to remove your PFD or other layers, making it a significant convenience for long days on the water.

The three-layer construction is the gold standard for durability and breathability. It sandwiches a high-performance membrane between a rugged outer shell and an inner lining, keeping you completely dry while allowing sweat to escape during high-output paddling.

Latex is sensitive to UV light, oils, and heat. Rinse your gaskets with fresh water after every use, store the suit out of direct sunlight, and consider using a dedicated rubber conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

This suit features integrated fabric socks, which provide a watertight seal when paired with your own paddling shoes or booties. You will need to wear a separate pair of water shoes over the socks for traction and protection.

While you can replace gaskets yourself with the right tools and adhesive, it is a precise process. Many paddlers prefer to send their suit to Kokatat or a professional repair shop to ensure the seal remains perfectly watertight.
