A Kokatat Drysuit is a specialized piece of gear that does require some care during use. Learn more about rental drysuit care and use.
Insulation & Layering
With a drysuit your insulation comes not from the suit itself but from the layers you wear underneath. Think of the drysuit as a jacket — you always wear something under your jacket. Wear layers underneath that move moisture away from your skin and provide sufficient insulation.
Adjust your layering based on the air and water temperature and your activity level. Don't overdress — it's actually easy to overheat in a drysuit if you wear too much. Learn more about dressing and layering for paddling.
