K O K ATAT TRINITY SHORTY DRY TOP
www.kokatat.com | $380 US You only turn 40 once. This year, Kokatat releases a limited edition shorty dry top for both men and women to commemorate this milestone. Like their popular Rogue top, the jacket features Gore-Tex, a self-draining col- lar and double tunnel. The Trinity also has gaskets in both the neck and sleeves. The icing on the 40th birthday cake: special an- niversary graphics.
LEVEL SIX REIGN PANT
www.levelsix.com | $220 US Brand new this spring, Level Six introduces a creeking and expedition grade line of dry gear. The fully waterproof-breathable Reign dry pant has built-in socks and an extra-long neoprene waistband. When paired with Lev- el Six’s new Reign dry top ($380 US) or any double tunnel jacket, you have a watertight alternative to a dry suit. The Cordura-rein- forced panels on the knees, seat and bot- tom of the socks add bombproof durability. Waterproof zipped pockets and adjustable cuffs round out these stylish pants.
LEVEL SIX DAME
www.levelsix.com | $174 US Avoid the boa constrictor feel of latex gas- kets with this impressively watertight semi- dry top. After success with their men’s equivalent, the Baron, Level Six now offers adjustable neoprene cuff and neck gaskets in a women’s top. As a light-duty option with an adjustable double tunnel and waterproof chest pocket, this jacket offers great protec- tion and features at a more affordable price.
NRS FREEFALL DRY PANT
www.nrsweb.com | $160 US Comfort, dryness and affordability—what a concept. The loose fit of these pants is incredibly liberating. Wide over cuffs and adjustable inner cuffs accommodate boo- ties, water shoes and even hiking boots. The neoprene waistband and latex ankle gaskets keep you dry and the lightweight, waterproof-breathable nylon is remarkably packable. At well under $200, these pants are great value.
