Hiko Odin Air4.X: The Ultimate Dry Suit for the Most Demanding Whitewater Conditions

Odin Air 4.X: The Fourth Evolution of the Top-of-the-Line Dry Suit

The Hiko Odin Air4.X isn’t just another dry suit. It’s the culmination of years of development and experience on the world’s most challenging rivers. This model represents the fourth generation (evolution) of the legendary Odin series and delivers improvements exactly where they’re needed most on the water. It is designed to provide comprehensive protection for the entire body against moisture and cold, without restricting your dynamic movements in any way during Eskimo rolls, runs into eddies, or long crossings.

Airfour X Material: Extreme Durability and Breathability

At the heart of this suit is an advanced 4-layer construction that combines lightness with uncompromising durability:

• 4-layer Airfour X: A high-quality laminate that provides excellent waterproofing and wind resistance, while its internal structure allows for effective wicking of sweat and moisture away from the body. This prevents the buildup of uncomfortable condensation inside the suit.
• Perfect thermal comfort: The material acts as a perfect barrier against icy water. When combined with the right thermal underwear, it will keep your body at an optimal temperature throughout your time on the water.
• High mechanical strength: The fabric is designed to withstand rough handling, contact with rocks, and sharp edges in the riverbed.

Key Features: Back zipper, Doublepull, and Cordura

Hiko prides itself on its thoughtful details, which make the Odin a truly professional piece of gear:

• Waterproof zipper on the back: It allows you to easily put on and take off the jacket on your own, without assistance from another person. Additionally, the zipper’s rear placement prevents mechanical strain on it when leaning forward or sitting in a kayak.
• Doublepull system at the waist: An innovative adjustment system that allows you to quickly and perfectly tailor the suit to your body. It prevents water from entering and ensures that the suit doesn't ride up during aggressive paddling.
• Neoprene-coated latex cuffs: Both the neck and wrist feature waterproof latex seals, which are protected on the outside by a soft neoprene cover. This significantly extends the life of the latex and provides additional thermal comfort.
• Heavy-duty 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 in areas of greatest friction and significantly extend its lifespan.

Recommended activities: From WW V to expedition-style rafting

The Hiko Odin Air4.X is an uncompromising protective layer designed for the most demanding water activities:

• Extreme whitewater and creek running (WW IV–V): Cordura reinforcements and reliable seals will protect you even when navigating dangerous rapids and waterfalls and performing Eskimo rolls in icy, rock-filled water.
• Winter and Spring Expeditions: Perfect protection against wind, rain, and cold during all-day outings on the water, when thermal comfort is a matter of safety.
• Rescue and Training Events: Reliability and durability you can count on 100 percent, even when working in water.

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 or dirty water). 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 supple and prevent them from cracking. Hang them to dry freely, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
