	Kokatat makes the best drysuits, period. For multi-day trips GORE-TEX® fabric makes the experience quite civilized. Instead of the instantly sweaty, wet, stinky, mass of layering clothers collected after a couple of days, with Kokatat GORE-TEX® suits you are just warm and dry. Oh yeah, you can't find better insulating layers than Kokatat either, softer hand to the material and warmer than you would expect for the weight of the garment. On Smoky River 2004, the killer put-in portage demands high performance gear, light weight with maximum functionality. Thanks for your support Kokatat! Kokatat provides: Drysuits: Meridian GORE-TEX® Drysuits Insulation wear: Core underwear and POLARTEC® insulation Destination Paddelwear: Supplex® Pants and Paclite GORE-TEX® Garments: Super light and quick drying for the portages. PFD's: Pro Fit Tour, one of the best Lifejackets on the market.
