Kokatat Women’s Meridian Dry Suit (Hydrus 3.0) Kokatat

The Kokatat Women’s Meridian Dry Suit with Hydrus 3.0 membrane offers the same features that people love about Gore-Tex Meridian Suits but is constructed using a less costly material for waterproofing in their construction. Hydrus 3.0 is Kokatat’s proprietary waterproofing material that is a great value and superior waterproofing to other non-Gore-Tex waterproof membranes.

Like the “GMER” suits, the Hydrus version has an adjustable overskirt with a Smoothskin neoprene waistband to effectively keep water out of your cockpit. Hydrus Meridians come standard with built-in socks to keep your feet dry and warm, and they fit a variety of different footwear types comfortably; a common complaint that many other drysuits fail to address. A new leg pattern provides better articulation for improved fit and includes dropseat routing with improved in boat comfort, but when nature calls, you’re covered!

Pro Tip: The first question we get about these suits is “Is Hydrus good enough?” when compared to Gore-Tex. The answer in our opinion is yes, it’s pretty darn near the performance level of Gore-Tex. Kokatat wouldn’t put their name on something that they don’t stand by the quality of and guarantee the performance of. If you want a Kokatat suit and can’t bring yourself to spend the money on the Gore-Tex version, chances are you will not regret settling for this suit instead!
