What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've trusted this suit on Class IV days where staying dry matters most. The mobility is excellent for a rear-entry design, and the reinforced Hydrus panels stand up to real river use."We zip into the Hydrus Icon Dry Suit when cold-water missions demand total focus and a layer that won't quit midway through a rapid. The Hydrus 3. 0 fabric blocks icy waves and steady spray while breathing enough to keep us comfortable during portages, scouting, and challenging ferries. Its rear-entry zipper lays flat and moves with us, giving our shoulders and torso the freedom needed for strokes that matter in turbulent current. Reinforced Hydrus Tough panels give us peace of mind as we slide down rocky put-ins or scramble around riverbank boulders. Latex gaskets create a clean, watertight seal, protected by neoprene over-cuffs that shed splash and drain quickly after rolls. An overskirt tightens securely around a spray deck for a dialed cockpit seal, and the integrated Hydrus socks keep our feet dry through put-in mud and chilly eddies. For paddlers who chase early melt, late fall flows, or back-to-back river days, the Hydrus Icon Dry Suit delivers reliable protection with the mobility needed to stay in control.
