A drysuit is the piece of kit that decides whether paddling is a summer hobby or a year round one. It does not keep you warm on its own; it keeps the water out so that what you wear underneath can.<\/p>\n

That distinction matters, because a wetsuit works by letting a thin layer of water in and heating it. In water below about fifteen degrees Celsius, that stops being pleasant and eventually stops being safe.<\/p>\n

What you are paying for is three things: a fabric that is waterproof and still breathes, latex gaskets at the neck and wrists that seal against skin, and a zip that does not leak. Everything else is detailing.<\/p>\n

We compared nine suits and one alternative on fabric construction, seals, entry system and the features that matter when you fall in wearing one.<\/p>\n
