Suz Hutchinson, New England Kokatat sales rep and local paddler, will be at Newbury Kayak and Canoe on Sunday, September 25 from 2:00 to 4:00 for the “The In’s and Out’s of Drysuits”. Everything you could want to know about drysuits from how to get in/out, along with what to wear underneath. Suz will also help you understand the choices available, from the different materials to the myriad of options, and how to decide what makes sense for you. In addition, she will discuss how to care for a drysuit after using, along with long term storage and everything in between such as bringing the DWR back to life when needed. For existing drysuit owners, bring in your suit for review of gaskets and learn how to look for pinholes and determine when to send back to Kokatat for water testing and repairs. All current drysuit owners will get the chance to win one free gasket change (your choice – neck or wrist). The OLDEST drysuit will receive a free Kokatat hat! For those interested in purchasing a drysuit we are offering a discount of 15% for any suit ordered at the event. Want to try on a suit? All styles of Kokatat suits will be available at the event. Get your suit on order now ready for cold water!
