Introducing: The Nookie Octane Women's Drysuit

The Nookie Octane Women's Drysuit was created in response to listening to their customers. This isn't just a Men's drysuit with shorter arms and a drop seat, this is a considered design using customer-led feedback for fit and form given by women who actually paddle.

Developed by the all female design team at Nookie, (who between them have decades of experience designing and making successful technical clothing as well as kayaking out in the elements,) it is meticulously made in their factory in Cornwall, U.K.

The body, arm and leg lengths reflect the balance of key measurements in women's physiques, and the carefully graded patterns offer a comfortable fit across a wide range of women's shapes and sizes. A slightly contoured hip with slim (not skinny) legs and drop seat accommodate a modest hip curve, without looking like a pair of jodhpurs! Well fitting sleeves with sized latex seals for slender necks and wrists give a comfortable watertight seal.

"At first I tried it at home, it was really a nice fit, I was definitely eager to experience the comfort and security of a drysuit ! So, back from two intense days, let me tell you it’s just perfect!" - a very happy customer after a weekend away with a bivouac and kayak.

Is this the right drysuit for me?

It doesn't matter if you're just getting into kayaking or an intrepid explorer, this suit is for you.

NEW TO KAYAKING

Why is the Nookie Octane good for beginners? It's simple, it keeps you warm and dry, which makes it easier to concentrate and learn a new skill. It will also make kayaking in the U.K a lot more pleasant overall.

WHITEWATER

Anatomically designed with seam free under arm paddle-zones, the Nookie Octane will withstand what ever you throw at it, or any waterfalls you choose to throw yourself down!

KAYAK TOURING

Perfect for long days in your kayak. The flexible breathable fabric makes your day on the water comfortable with the convenience of a well-placed drop seat for even more personal comfort.

SUP

It sounds a little extreme, but if you want to get out on you SUP all year round, you can't beat the investment of a drysuit. Warm, dry and great protection from the elements.

WEAR IT WITH:

A Rockhopper Buoyancy Aid, designed with the enthusiast in mind. This buoyancy aid will not limit you to one discipline of paddlesport.

Team up with layered insulation, like the Core Hybrid Thermal Base Layer (long and short sleeve), for the ultimate performance.

Absolute Deck, the best all round spraydeck and it's made in U.K. The tough armo-tex neoprene and sticky latex underneath will perform in the white stuff.

Ti Liner Socks, ideal as neoprene liners inside the socks of the Nookie Octane.
