NEW PRODUCT - DRY SUITS

 "My first dry suit changed my life.  No longer terrified of a freezing swim, and just enjoying wet days and dry days, Grade 1, 2 and above, equally."

- Hugh Canard, Owner

DRY SUITS & NEW ZEALAND

In New Zealand most of our rivers and lakes are cold.  In a packraft you are going to get wet. If you have a self-bailer it’s definitely all the time. In a spray deck model it’s always a possibility.  

After equipping yourself with a packraft, a comfortable PFD, a helmet and a paddle, the next item is a dry suit.  Wetsuits are OK, but they’re not comfortable and they are very constricting.  

A dry suit will change your life.

If it’s not cold you’re still going to be wet and exposed.  If it’s cold or windy or the water is glacial, a dry suit is a game changer.  You just adjust the layering and you can wear your thermals underneath. 

Capsize? No problem.  Do a course, know what to do, and get back paddling without the fear of a freezing dip.
