Questions about the Meridian Dry Suit
Is the Meridian GORE-TEX Pro Dry Suit waterproof and breathable?
Yes. It is made from 7.2 oz 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro, which is waterproof and breathable, and every Kokatat suit is 100% fill tested and guaranteed to be dry.
Is the Meridian front-entry or back-entry?
Front-entry. It closes with nylon waterproof zippers with dual flap protection, and it has a nylon front relief zipper with a protective flap.
Is it USCG approved or NFPA certified?
Kokatat and NRS do not list a USCG approval or an NFPA standard for it. It is a dry garment, not a flotation device, so wear it with a PFD.
