Review:

I received this drysuit one day before my grand canyon trip in November and wore it for 20 days straight. Pros: - The fabric booties are durable, fit well in boating shoes and the extra coating on the bottom of botties is appreciated. - The TIZIP zippers fit well beneath a PFD and are easy to clean sand out of. - The backentry system makes the entry and exit into the drysuit a little more difficult, but opening and closing the zipper can easily be done by one person. With the rear zipper, the drysuit fits well beneath a pfd and does not bunch up. - The inside elastic waist does a great job keeping the drysuit in place Cons: - The knees and butt could benefit from extra reinforcement. I had to acquaseal numerous holes in these areas throughout the trip which I was disappointed about. Rowing a raft and while SUPing, these 2 areas see a lot more use than when in a kayak. Other trip members with Kokatat drysuits with reinforced knees and butts did not have any problems.
