NRS Women's Navigator GORE-TEX Pro: Ultimate Protection for Demanding Female Paddlers

GORE-TEX Pro Navigator: Cutting-edge technology for maximum performance

The NRS Women's Navigator GORE-TEX Pro pushes the boundaries of what a women's paddling suit can offer. It is designed with a focus on the needs of active female paddlers who are looking for the perfect balance between maximum protection from the elements and freedom of movement. The relaxed fit provides ample room for layering thermal underwear or fleece without the suit restricting movement under a life jacket. It’s an investment in staying dry, warm, and safe for many years to come.

GORE-TEX® Pro Fabric: Waterproofing, Breathability, and Sustainability

At the heart of this suit is the legendary membrane that sets the standard for outdoor apparel:

• 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro: It offers excellent waterproofing, breathability, and wind resistance. This material can handle even the most extreme conditions on whitewater or rough seas.
• Sustainable Production: Made from 100% recycled nylon with a more eco-friendly DWR (water-repellent) finish, which reduces the environmental impact without compromising performance.
• Front YKK® Aquaseal™ zipper: It allows for quick and efficient dressing and undressing completely on one's own, while providing protection from water and dirt.

Key Features: GlideSkin™, ventilated visor, and dry socks

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

• GlideSkin™ neoprene collar: The soft and flexible neoprene around the neck provides exceptional comfort and an effective watertight seal without irritating sensitive skin.
• Ventilated face shield: A perforated face shield with a fleece lining and an asymmetrical zipper protects the face from wind and splashing water while allowing air to circulate for thermal comfort.
• Latex cuffs with a neoprene overlay: The combination of a latex gasket and a neoprene wrist sleeve ensures perfect protection against water ingress while providing maximum comfort.
• GORE-TEX® Pro Integrated Dry Socks: They ensure that your feet stay dry and warm the entire time you're on the water.
• Adjustable and roll-up hood: Anatomically shaped hood with three bungee cords for a perfect fit. When you don't need it, you can easily roll it up and secure it.
• Neoprene waist belt with a double cord: It provides a secure connection to the spraydeck's deck sheet and prevents the suit from riding up.
• Drop-seat zipper: A convenient rear zipper for easy relief without having to take off the top part of the suit.
• Waterproof pockets and reflective elements: Shoulder pockets with waterproof zippers for small items and reflective details to improve visibility in low light.

Recommended Activities: From whitewater to expedition-style rafting

The NRS Women's Navigator GORE-TEX Pro is a versatile protective layer for the most demanding water activities:

• Challenging kayaking and sea kayaking: Maximum protection against splashing water, wind, and cold during longer trips on open water.
• Water Tourism and Expeditions: Comfort and dryness for multi-day expeditions where the reliability of your gear is a matter of safety.
• Rafting and Whitewater: Reliable protection when navigating rapids and whirlpools, where there is a high risk of getting wet.
• Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Flexible and breathable protection against inclement weather on open water.

Care and Maintenance of a Dry Suit

To preserve the superior performance of the GORE-TEX® membrane, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the suit with clean water after each use, especially after contact with saltwater. Wash gently by hand or on the delicate cycle in the washing machine (max. 30 °C) using a liquid detergent designed for technical membrane clothing (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash). Never use fabric softener or bleach! After washing, you can restore the water-repellent finish (DWR) using a high-quality waterproofing treatment. Once the latex cuffs are dry, lightly dust them with talcum powder. Hang to dry, away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
