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 2012 Drywear Fabric
Over the past year, Stohlquist has been developing and testing their latest waterproof/breathable 4 layer fabric. Stohlquist's new 4-layer "Twin-Sensor utilizes the best DWR treatments, durable nylon shell fabrics, and waterproof/breathable treatments to provide the ultimate in protection and comfort in dry wear.

Waterproofness:

25,000mm H2O or higher

Moisture Permeability: 6,000 - 7,000 g/m2/24 hrs - A1
10,000 - 12,000 g/m2/24 hrs - B1
Water Repellency: 80 points or higher
(after 20 wash cycles)

Twin Sensor
4-layer waterproof/breathable

New 4-layer Twin Sensor waterproof/breathable fabric combines both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, providing the best performance in waterproofness and breathability.

Outer shell fabric is coated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to prevent wetting out, improving breathability.

Hydrophobic micro-porous coating does not allow water to pass through, but does allow moisture vapor to pass through and escape.

Hydrophilic laminate absorbs & transports moisture vapor away from the body, helping to increase breathability, and through to the micro-porous coating.

The bi-component nature of the fabric offers the most effective waterproof/breathable technology for inclement weather.
