I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Kokotat Hydrus 3.0 Meridian Dry Suit

Dry suits may be expensive, but the Kokatat Hydrus 3.0 Meridian Dry Suit gets us into a quality suit at a more affordable price. The brand's own Hydrus 3.0 membrane provides both waterproof and breathable protection, offering a cost-effective alternative to GORE-TEX. The suit's latex gaskets with neoprene covers create a secure seal at the neck and wrist, ensuring that waves and water stay out. With waterproof zippers on the chest pocket and relief zipper, we can be confident that we'll stay dry in any conditions. Additionally, the suit features an overskirt that keeps our kayak drier while rolling or playing, and the diagonal, front-entry zipper makes it easy to put on and take off the suit. Manufactured in the USA, the Meridian includes many of the premium features found in Kokatat's higher-end dry suits, all at a budget-friendly price.
