The Kokatat Gore Tex Meridian Dry Suit

(GMER) by Atom Crawford

The Kokotat Gore-Tex dry suit is one piece of gear that I am never without. From winter, to spring creeking, summertime multidays, Grand canyon excursions, this drysuit is a must have. It keeps me dry no matter what. I love it for multi days because when I take it off at night, I'm still dry and just wear my union suit around and don't need to pack an extra layer of gear. When I flail and end up swimming, it keeps me dry and safe. This happened a lot to me this year and I swear by this suit. Not only does the suit keep you dry, it is necessary if you are preforming a rescue situation in cold water. Your buddy will thank you later when you have been in chest deep, ice cold water helping them out. Need to take a swift water rescue class? This suit will make it able to enjoy what you are learning and keep you warm. My favorite piece of paddling gear period!

Pros:

You will not get wet!

Pack less camp clothes because you under layers will be dry.

The built in bootie sock keeps the feet warm.

The relief zipper is oh so nice.

Tough and durable

Protects you from poison ivy while portaging
