Kokatat Odyssey Dry Suit

The Odyssey uses a lighter, more breathable fabric on the upper body to keep you comfortable while paddling, while the lower section uses a heavier, more durable material to withstand the abrasion of sitting in a kayak cockpit and walking on shore.

Yes, the latex neck and wrist gaskets are standard components that can be replaced by Kokatat or a professional repair shop once they eventually degrade, extending the overall lifespan of your suit.

While it is specifically engineered for sea and touring kayaking, the suit is versatile enough for other cold-water paddle sports like whitewater kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, provided you are comfortable with the front-entry design.

The integrated socks are made from the same waterproof material as the suit, keeping your feet dry inside the suit. You will need to wear a separate pair of water shoes or sandals over the socks to protect them from punctures and provide traction.

The hood is fully removable, so you can leave it off on calm, sunny days to reduce bulk. It is a great feature to keep on hand for unpredictable weather or heavy rain when you need extra protection for your head and neck.

The rear relief zipper is positioned to allow you to answer nature's call without having to remove the entire suit. It is designed to be accessible while wearing a life jacket, though it may take a little practice to operate smoothly the first few times.
