Deep Dive
Why We Like The Gore-Tex Meridian Drysuit
We absolutely love the Gore-Tex Meridian Drysuit from Kokatat. Not only do we frequently spot other paddlers wearing it, but more importantly, we see them with big smiles on their faces, without a hint of dampness. The Meridian is expertly crafted using Gore-Tex Pro, ensuring reliable waterproofing while remaining breathable and comfortable, particularly during calmer moments on the river. To enhance durability, Cordura is used in key areas that are prone to wear and tear.
