![]() I heard alot of Kokatat mentioned in this thread, so I figure I'll start there. I do scuba dive and have been in Lake Superior in a wet suit in March so I figure I could stand a little water getting in.Īlso, what are your thoughts on the socks - with or without?Īnd how does a paddling suit fit in this mix? Is this more similar to a semi dry?ĭo any of you folks fish for steelhead in the winter in a dry suit? Could be a better option than waders. For a person looking to extend their season as outlined above do you feel a dry or semi dry would be the way to go? I was thinking semi. It appears the difference relates to the closures. I am a bit puzzled about the dry -vs- semi dry suit. I went to Lows and up to Grass Pond last week and it got me thinking about a dry suit. I have wanted to extend this by a bit - maybe start in April and run till the end of October. My paddling window (outside of steelhead season) has always started in mid May and ended at the beginning of October. And if you can wear your PFD over your rain gear, you'll have no issue with putting your PFD over the Ocean Rodeo, which I do when I go out in it. It's plenty warm when layered - and it's got as much room for layers under it as other drysuits. I've swim tested my Ocean Rodeo Ignite and I assure you, it's a real drysuit just as watertight in full immersion as any other. Of course water gets in when it is vented. Here's an immersion test of the Shift doing kayak rolls He first tests it in dry mode does some more rolls with it in standby or vented mode to see what will happen. Ocean Rodeo licensed their tech to Stohlquist for the kayaking market and the same exact drysuit is marketed by Stohlquist as the "Shift" which is identical except for colors and the integrated sprayskirt tunnel. Ocean Rodeo is a Vancouver-based company which specifically designed its drysuits for kite surfing in the winter in the oceans there.
