Kokatat Meridian Hydrus 3.0: Premium Performance at a Reasonable Price

Meridian Hydrus 3.0: Kokatat Quality More Affordable Than Ever

The Kokatat brand is the absolute gold standard in drysuits. The Meridian model has long been one of the most popular styles. This version features the innovative Hydrus 3.0 fabric, which reduces manufacturing costs without drastically compromising functionality. You’ll get a full-fledged expedition suit with a sophisticated cut and a lifetime warranty on workmanship—one you can rely on during the toughest moments on whitewater.

Material: 3-layer Hydrus 3L membrane

At the heart of this suit is an advanced fabric developed exclusively by Kokatat:

• Hydrus 3L (three-layer construction): It consists of a durable outer nylon layer with a water-repellent finish (DWR), a microporous polyurethane middle layer, and a soft inner knit fabric. This sandwich construction reliably blocks water from penetrating from the outside while effectively wicking body moisture (sweat) outward. It holds its own even when compared to significantly more expensive GORE-TEX materials.

Comfort and Zippers: Front opening and zipper for the toilet

Zippers are a key element of user comfort, and on the Meridian model, they are designed for maximum self-sufficiency:

• Front diagonal entry zipper: It allows you to put on and take off the suit easily without assistance. The zipper runs from the shoulder across the chest, does not restrict torso rotation, and is protected by a cover flap.
• Toilet (relief) zipper: For paddlers who spend entire days on the river in freezing weather, this is an absolute must-have. Taking a quick break is a matter of seconds, without having to take off your entire suit, spray skirt, and life jacket.

Seals and Socks: Latex, Neoprene, and Dry Feet

A proven system ensures 100% waterproofing at critical points:

• Neck and Wrist: The cuffs are made of high-quality, flexible latex that fits snugly against the skin and doesn't let a single drop through. In addition, the latex seal is protected on the outside by a neoprene cover, which significantly extends its lifespan (protecting it from UV radiation and mechanical damage).
• Integrated dry socks: The suit features fully waterproof socks made from Hydrus 3.0 material. This keeps your feet completely dry and warm, which is key to your body’s overall thermoregulation.
• Double passport: An essential component for a secure connection to the spraydeck, creating a water seal to prevent water from entering the kayak.
