A custom IR Drydeck will make you dry and at home in just about any environment. It’s as simple as choosing your favorite IR jacket and Sprayskirt to be combined into the Centaur of paddling gear. When wearing his drydeck, Joey, “the original mustache king,” slips into the deepest relaxation, enabling him to mingle with professional kayakers… yes, the important people of the world.

King wears IR Drysuit, Tick wears Union Suit, both have Mustache

Dave Simonetti won the IR Mustache King “2008 Curt Davis Invitational Mustache Growing Contest of Paddlesports.” He is the Mustache King, and the King only has the best things that life offers. IR products naturally fall into that category.

King Simonetti himself commented, “Though the quality of IR products always seems to be really high, I was particular impressed with the fit and construction of the suit. I can actually get it zipped up all by myself and having the zipper across the shoulders gives you really good mobility while padding. It is also warm and TOTALLY dry as the pics of my leisure time in 39 degree water will show. This drysuit may be the nicest thing I own.”

Here is a photo before Simonetti was crowned as the IR Mustache King. You can clearly see that His Highness was underdressed for Kingly activities like reclining in frigid water and laughing at the river, and that he had other “ailments” to worry about at the time.

Comparably, the Tick, not a Mustache King but certainly a Mustache wearing Superhero, also wears IR gear. It’s obvious that he has chosen the Union Suit as his primary attire.

Happy New Year,
