Hiko Calypso Air4.W: A premium women's drysuit for maximum comfort and protection

Calypso Air4.W: Designed for the female anatomy

The Hiko Calypso Air4.W isn’t just a scaled-down version of a men’s wetsuit. It’s a product designed with the female anatomy in mind, perfectly hugging the body’s curves and eliminating excess material that could snag or restrict movement. It provides comprehensive protection for the entire body against moisture and cold, even during extended periods in the water, while allowing you to focus solely on your performance and the riding experience.

A Smart Combination of Materials: Airfour Light and Airfour

At the heart of this suit is a well-thought-out design that combines lightness with maximum durability:

• Fuselage made of Airfour Light material: A lighter, 4-layer breathable fabric in the upper half of the body ensures excellent mobility and comfort exactly where the paddler needs to feel maximum freedom during strokes and torso rotation.
• Pants made from Airfour fabric: The lower section is made of a more durable 4-layer fabric that better withstands mechanical stress, getting into a wet boat, and contact with equipment.
• Perfect thermal comfort: This combination ensures optimal temperature regulation, so you don't overheat during exercise, but at the same time you're protected from getting cold.

Key Features: Back zipper, Doublepull, and Cordura reinforcements

Hiko prides itself on its well-thought-out details, which make this suit a truly professional piece of gear:

• Waterproof zipper on the back: It allows you to easily put on and take off the garment on your own, without assistance from another person, while providing a reliable waterproof seal.
• Doublepull system at the waist: An innovative adjustment system that allows the wetsuit to fit your body perfectly, prevents water from entering, and ensures that the wetsuit doesn't ride up when you move.
• Neoprene-coated latex cuffs: Both the neck and wrist areas feature waterproof latex seals that are protected on the outside by soft neoprene. This extends the life of the latex and provides additional thermal comfort.
• Cordura reinforcements: Strategically placed reinforcements made of highly durable Cordura fabric on the elbows, knees, seat, and soles of the integrated socks protect the suit from wear and tear and significantly extend its lifespan.

Recommended Activities: From whitewater rafting to all-day expeditions

The Hiko Calypso Air4.W is a versatile protective layer designed for the most demanding water activities:

• Whitewater and Creek Rafting: Cordura reinforcements and reliable seals will keep you safe even when navigating challenging rapids and performing Eskimo rolls in icy water.
• Sea Kayaking and Hiking: Perfect protection against wind, rain, and saltwater spray during longer crossings on the open water.
• Full-day expedition: The material's breathability ensures comfort even during hours of paddling, without feeling overheated or trapping moisture.

Care and Maintenance of a Dry Suit

To ensure a long service life and maintain waterproofing, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the suit with clean water after each use (especially after contact with saltwater). Wash gently by hand or on a very delicate cycle in the washing machine (max. 30 °C) using a detergent designed for technical membrane clothing. Never use fabric softener or bleach! Once the latex cuffs are dry, lightly dust them with talcum powder to keep them flexible and prevent them from tearing. Hang them to dry freely, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not leave them folded in a confined space, as this may cause the latex to crack.
