Drysuit General Comments
Drysuits are the best way to enjoy safe and warm outdoor cold water activity. With advances in technical clothing properties, and resultant decrease in manufacturing costs, it has become very affordable for the prudent outdoor participant to wear the best in protective clothing.

The most comfortable drysuits will allow moisture generated within the suit to escape through the fabric, helping to keep the wearer dry and warm. This breath-ability will vary with the type of fabric and construction characteristics. Some fabrics are "coated" to achieve water repellency and breath-ability. Others are composed of multiple bonded layers. Generally speaking, the multiple layer bonded materials are superior to coated materials.

Next to skin and subsequent layers need to transport moisture and remain dry. Polypro is a must. Chose prudently, your comfort and ultimately your life may depend upon the integrity of your drysuit and related gear.

Stohlquist b-Pod Body Pod Dry Suit

New for 2009
Chest Pocket
Softer Neck Gasket
Improved Socks

The most well received and comfortable drysuit in has been improved!

The small shoulder pocket has been replaced by a larger and easier to access side entry chest pocket.

The attached sock now has a cordura sole and is cut fuller to easily fit larger feet.

the Body Pod ... a wise choice

For all of us who want a real drysuit NOT a "semi dry" suit, but do not like the constriction of a latex neck gasket, Stohlquist introduced in 2006 the Body Pod.

The Body Pod is a full function DRYSUIT...not a compromise semi dry suit !

The Body Pod has the advantage of a soft neoprene neck gasket, which is water tight and very smooth and stretchy. No more neck choke by the latex gasket. A very soft, smooth and effective neck seal. This is not a hook & loop (velcro) neck closure as on spray jackets and that popular “Semi Dry” suit, this is the real deal...with comfort!

Every detail of the Stohlquist suit screams quality. The list price is $625, yes, a bit more than a “semi dry” suit, but you are comparing a ‘wanna be’ to ‘the real deal’. How much is your personal comfort and possibly your life worth?

The Body Pod is an extremely comfortable, better fitting, better looking and most importantly...with the new side entry chest pocket, improved and even softer neck gasket, and improved socks...a better performing suit.

When considering that I paddle all winter, and safety and personal comfort are the real priorities, why would I settle for a semi-dry suit, when a real drysuit with a soft neck was available for just a few dollars more? If I get pounded in the surf or go for an accidental swim or need to roll in Dec, Jan, Feb, or March do I want to be almost dry, or Dry????
