I am looking at purchasing a good drysuit? I am on the fence between a Level Six Barrier or a Kokatat.
I was wondering what drysuits other paddlers are wearing and what they have worn.
Let me hear your opinions and experiences with drysuits.
Thanks.

Chad

I have no experience with Level Six but I have had a few Kokatat GMER's and currently use the Expedition. Very well made gear and Kokatat's customer service is superb.

I was looking at the GMER. I was leaning towards it the most until recently. I have a Kokatat dry top that is great. I trust Kokatat.
I was wondering about the Expedition dry suit. Does the hood detach at all?
Thanks

Used a Kokotat full dry suit in 79 degrees/wind first time . The suit is a size larger than I need at XXL. The semi dry I usually use is a snug fit.

The XXL was cooler. A lot cooler. I was thinking about WPB bicycle jacket design with built in air pumps from fabric baffles. WPB is usually to warm for cycling unless the wx is cold.

The extra large size pumped air.
