Kokatat GORE-TEX Meridian - Women: The Gold Standard in Women's Drysuits

Meridian Women's: Perfect Fit and Performance

The women’s version of the Meridian model features the best of Kokatat’s proven technology, tailored to perfectly contour the female figure. It features narrower shoulders, a tailored fit around the chest and hips, and an adjustable waist, ensuring that the suit fits like a second skin, doesn’t restrict movement, and allows for effective layering of thermal underwear. It’s the top choice for demanding female paddlers who refuse to compromise between fit and absolute reliability.

Construction and Materials: 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro and Cordura®

The quality of the materials is key to ensuring durability and comfort during strenuous physical activity:

• 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro: The nylon outer layer, combined with an advanced membrane and a lightweight GORE Micro Grid lining, ensures excellent breathability, abrasion resistance, and protection against snagging on obstacles.
• 330D Cordura® GORE-TEX Reinforcement: From the waist down, including the knee areas and integrated socks, the suit is reinforced with an extremely durable material for maximum protection against wear and tear when boarding a boat or moving across rough terrain.
• Fully taped seams: All seams are precisely heat-sealed and taped, ensuring 100% waterproofing and long-term durability of the structure.

Outfitting and Safety Features

Every detail of this suit is designed to maximize safety, dryness, and user comfort:

• Front waterproof zipper: The high-quality YKK AquaSeal zipper, located across the shoulder and chest, allows for easy and quick donning and doffing without any assistance from another person.
• Toilet zipper (Relief zipper): The rear Velcro closure (drop-seat), protected by a fabric flap, ensures maximum practicality and hygiene during all-day wear without having to remove the top part of the suit.
• Double Chimney (Double Waist Seal): The double-seal system at the waist prevents water from entering the lower part of the suit, even during dynamic maneuvers and Eskimo rolls.
• Premium cuffs: The latex seals at the neck and wrists are protected by neoprene sleeves (over-cuffs), which increase comfort, extend the life of the latex, and provide better insulation for the joints.
• Integrated socks: Reinforced socks made of GORE-TEX® material ensure you stay completely dry and are compatible with neoprene or hiking boots.

Appropriate Activities and Professional Commitment

The Kokatat Meridian Women's is designed for the most challenging situations:

• Sea Kayaking and Expeditions: Excellent breathability and resistance to wind and salt water during long hikes on the open sea.
• Whitewater and creeking: Maximum durability and reliable protection against cold water during descents on challenging rivers.
• Professional use: Ideal for instructors, tour guides, and emergency responders who demand uncompromising quality and durability in their equipment.

About the Kokatat Brand: An American Legend Since 1981

Kokatat is an American icon in the world of water sports, founded in 1981 in California. The brand has built a global reputation for innovation, precision craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to a lifetime warranty on its products.

Care and Maintenance of a High-End Dry Suit

Investing in a high-quality suit like this requires proper care to maintain its functionality and ensure the warranty remains valid:

• Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater or dirty water, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with clean fresh water.
• Drying: Dry inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this would irreversibly damage the latex cuffs and the membrane.
• Zipper Maintenance: Clean the waterproof zippers regularly and lubricate them with the included silicone lubricant to ensure they are 100% watertight and operate smoothly.
• Latex Protection: Treat the cuffs with talcum powder or a special glycerin-based product to prevent them from drying out and cracking.
