It gives raft guides, swiftwater instructors and rescue boat crews light leg warmth that layers easily with HydroSkin tops. Find more dry suit base layers.
Features
- Nylon-spandex outer face: sheds water and stretches with every reach, pull and paddle stroke.
- Smooth, hydrophobic lining: feels soft against bare skin and does not soak up water.
- 0.5 mm Terraprene neoprene with a titanium layer: reflects body heat back toward you so you hold warmth in cold water.
- High-rise, yoga-style waistband: stretches comfortably with extra material on the back panel for coverage seated or standing.
- Form fit: limits water flushing in, which helps the neoprene insulate.
- Paddler-specific cut with friction-free, flat-lock stitched seams: for comfort and free movement during long shifts on the water.
- Capri length: sits between a short and a full pant for transitional days.
