RENT DRY SUIT AT LEK MER – PAMPAS

Our Paddle in Pampas facility is open all year round for SUP & kayak paddling. To increase your safety margins when the water is colder, we also offer dry suits for hire.

The use of a dry suit for SUP & kayaking is strongly recommended as long as the water temperature is below 13 degrees.

Size guide Dry suit

After testing most of the dry suits on the market and examining which one is best suited for rent, we have come to the conclusion that the suits from the Kokatat brand are the ones that hold the measure.

In our rental we mainly work with their model “Supernova Hydrus 2.5” and we have it in both women’s and men’s models.

WHY DRY SUIT?

Using a dry suit when kayaking or SUP will increase your safety when it is colder in the water. A drysuit acts as a waterproof shell that you wear outside your warm clothes (base layer, fleece or similar) and should you fall into the water, the drysuit will keep you dry while the clothes underneath help insulate you from the cold in the water.
Once you get out of the water, the true greatness of the drysuit comes out, as you can continue your paddling straight away without being cold and wet as you would be with a wetsuit or if you had no suit at all.
When using a drysuit for kayaking or SUP, keep in mind that the drysuit does not heat. So you need to dress properly under the suit. We usually recommend dressing for the water temperature under the dry suit and think of the dry suit as a rain jacket and a pair of rain pants.
There are lots of different dry suits and almost as many manufacturers of these. The dry suit we have chosen to have in our rental we call a “Semi-dry”, which means that it has latex cuffs in the wrists but a nicer neoprene cuff in the neck. This makes the drysuit more comfortable to wear, but neoprene foams will never be completely waterproof, which we like to be extra clear about.
All our dry suits also have a so-called “relief zipper”, which means that if the need arises, you can pee without having to take off your entire suit.
Neoprene shoes are also included when you rent a dry suit from us and they must be worn on top of the dry suit when you wear it to protect the fabric feet on the suit from wear.
Kokatat Supernova

COOKED SUPERNOVA HYDRUS 2.5

Kokatat Supernova is a thin and flexible dry suit without a lot of unnecessary fuss. It’s perfect for those who want to extend the season and get out even when the water gets colder.

We (and Kokatat) classify Supernova as a semi-dry suit. This is because it has a neoprene neck cuff. Neoprene foam is not as dense as latex, therefore we choose to call it “Semi-dry”. That said, this suit will still keep you dry and significantly increase your safety when paddling in colder waters.

With neoprene in the neck, you avoid the feeling of suffocation that can occur with
latex cuffs while the dry suit keeps you warm, safe and dry.

If you have plans to roll, surf or do a little more advanced sea paddling, we recommend that you ask for a suit with a latex cuff in the neck so that you are guaranteed to stay completely dry.
