If you're doing open-water crossings, paddling the Puget Sound in winter, or just want the full margin of protection, a drysuit is the right call. It costs more than a wetsuit, but it changes what conditions you can paddle in and extends your season. The right fit is important and we offer drysuit rentals so you can try one before you buy.  Not sure if you need a drysuit or a wetsuit? Start with our wetsuit vs drysuit guide.
