“The Whitewater Drysuit by Stohlquist is the best cutting-edge design, pioneer of the paddler’s drysuit in 1984. Stohlquist primarily known as the drysuit company at that time, has since supplied more suits to paddlers, rescue professionals, and sailors than any other brand…for good reason. Building a drysuit is a meticulous and careful procedure, combining high-tech (sometimes stubborn) materials to achieve a dry environment you can rely upon for well-being and safety. Each suit is hand made to our exacting specifications and is assigned its own serial number. It undergoes a series of in-line inspections through all stages of assembly to assure the highest quality. 29 parts and 80+ operations later, each suit is tested for 1/2 hour, inside out, under pressure and observed for quality assurance. No suit leaves QC (quality control) until passing Stohlquist strict standards, to assure the best product you can buy. Relief-zip and optional booties are available. New low profile cross chest mounted zip with shield. Double reinforced cordura seat and knees. Latex neck, wrist and ankle seals. Adjustable, stretchy neoprene cuff covers with passive mesh drainage. Elastic waistband for a trimmer fit. Crotch gusset provides roominess and added durability.
