Kokatat GFER Gore-Tex Front Entry Dry Suit, shown with and without Dry Socks and Relief Zipper AKA GFE-R or GFE

The Kokatat GFER dry suit is ideal for most sea kayakers and all rafters, sailors, kite-boarders, free divers (anything but SCUBA). You may add most of Kokatat's dry suit options (i.e. dry socks, men's pee/ relief zipper or women's drop seat, pockets, reflective tape) and have it custom sized (taylor fitted) to build a custom GFE or GFER drysuit with the exact feature(s) you want.

To learn more about ordering a custom fitted GFE-R dry suit and all the custom features that can be added, go to our main dry suit page by clicking here: Dry Suit

The one feature that can't be added to the GFE model drysuit is an overskirt for kayaking. An over skirt helps keeps water from entering your kayak when practicing Eskimo rolls or paddling in waves (i.e. surf and river kayaking). That is the only bennefit of the overskirt feature. Most sea kayakers don't find the overskirt is worth the extra money, but for white water kayaking it is definitely worth having a dry suit with an overskirt. For information on dry suits with overskirts, click here: GME Goretex Meridian Dry Suit
