Staying warm inside a drysuit on cold Canadian water comes down to what you're wearing underneath, and a liner built specifically for paddling makes a real difference.
The Kokatat Women's Outercore Habanero Drysuit Liner is a one-piece suit designed to work seamlessly with all Kokatat drysuits, including those with SwitchZip. The body-mapped construction uses heavyweight recycled Polartec Power Dry in the main body where warmth matters most, and lighter-weight Polartec grid fleece in the underarms, cuffs, neck, and ankles where ventilation and packability are more important. The result is a liner that manages moisture effectively and keeps you comfortable across a range of paddling intensities without overheating on the carry or chilling down during a long flat stretch.
The women's-specific design includes an discreet zipper compatible with female urination devices, which is a practical consideration on long days in a sealed drysuit. A long front entry zipper and a second waist zipper that functions as a drop seat make the liner easy to get in and out of in the field. Flat-stitch seams throughout reduce bulk and pressure points under a drysuit, and a zippered chest pocket keeps small essentials within reach.
