Dry suits with belly entry

Advantage: maximum dense leg and foot areas, entry possible without outside help.

Disadvantage: Be careful when using the life jacket. Depending on the model and size combination, the constant chafing between buckles and zippers may be annoying. In this case you might switch to back entry or try a different life jacket.

Leg-entry drysuits

Advantage: no annoying, stiff zippers in the shoulder area and therefore maximum mobility. Dressing possible without outside help.

Disadvantage: If you stand in the water for a long time, you might get a few droplets. This applies less to touring paddlers or sea kayakers, but more to whitewater paddlers who may have to stand in the creek for a long time to belay and scout.

latex cuff
(16 x)

Latex cuff(s) at the neck or sleeves achieve maximum density on paddle jackets and dry suits.

Some paddlers get skin irritations from the latex. You can counteract this by always diligently dusting the cuffs with baby powder (talcum powder) or carefully shaving the beard transition on the neck.

If the latex becomes sticky, especially through perspiration, then please rinse with clear water and powder in new ones.

If all that is not enough, or if a lack of comfort is the main argument, then a jacket / suit with neoprene cuffs is recommended. These are more comfortable and durable, less allergenic, but also noticeably less dense.

Incidentally, we also have talc as an accessory: McNett Protalc talc care product for latex

Neoprene cuff
(9 x)

Neoprene cuffs are not quite as tight compared to latex cuffs. On the other hand, they are more robust and possibly more comfortable to wear.

Especially for those who always get a skin rash from latex cuffs.

Additional neoprene cuffs are fitted over many neoprene cuffs with Velcro, giving things a double seal and responsive to small wrists.

Semidry
(2 x)

We call the whitewater paddle jackets Semidry, which (in part) do without latex cuffs.
There are versions with latex cuffs on the sleeves and neoprene cuffs on the neck, as well as jackets that only have neoprene cuffs.

The density is not quite as good as latex, hence the term “semidry”
The advantages: less prone to wear and tear, less constricting feeling on the neck and usually a lower price.

Some dry pants are also listed here in their simple version with neoprene cuffs instead of socks.
