Comments about Kokatat Tropos SuperNova Dry Suit:

This product has been great! I paddle mainly glacial rivers up here, and they rarely get above 40F. This dry suit has been nothing but great for me, and several paddling buddies who own it as well. The only potential leak point is the neck, but as long as you use the Velcro to cinch it down, you will have no problem.

I used this suit on a 4 day swift-water rescue class on the Matanuska river, and there was very little boating involved. The majority of the class was swimming in the river, and this suit performed like a champ.

The one downside to the suit is that it does not breath, so if you don't layer properly you can build up sweat on the inside. I'm sure the higher price point GoreTex would do a better job at breathing, but I'll keep the additional $500 and manage my layers accordingly.

Wonderful dry suit, and a great value for money. No need to spend $1000 to get into dry suits. Great buy!
