We recently received a couple of requests for a product we had never made before, and after some consideration, we thought it was actually a pretty cool idea: a drysuit with a skirt sewn right into the outer tunnel. A drydeck meets drysuit. Our own Jon Harmon modeled the suit before we sent it out. If you are interested in a product like this, let us know.

Great idea for dry convenience, but be sure to warn people against loggy creeking in drydecks- I’d have one less kayaking buddy right now if he were wearing a drydeck when he pinned under a log on Ravens. Thanks for all you guys do!

Same thoughts here. Was pinned vertically by my skirt on a log. Could reach the grabloop but couldn’t pull it hard enough to un-pin from the log. Started getting exhausted from legs being pinned and pressed against the boat against the log. Eventually a buddy got a rope around my stern grabloop and pulled me enough enough to crawl out through the tunnel of the skirt.
The dry deck is nice but think it’s more of a risk when it comes down to it. Sure there’s tons of people who would dig it but after that pin I won’t buy anything where I’m connected to the skirt and boat.

we recommend that you don’t creek in a drydeck
