Measurement Tips
How to measure:
- Chest/Bust: With arms down at your sides, measure around the largest part of the chest, generally across the nipples.
- Waist: Measure at the natural waist; above the hip bones, across the navel.
- Hips: With feet together, measure around the widest part of the hips, across the fullest point of the buttocks.
- Head: Measure above brow, around the fullest part of the head.
Tips for taking accurate measurements:
- It’s best to have a friend or family member do the measuring.
- Use a cloth measuring tape. If you don’t have one, use a cord (or an NRS strap!) and transfer that to a tape measure.
- Measure in your street clothes; we size technical outerwear pieces like drysuits and dry tops to include room for layering underneath.
- Stand up straight and relax.
Suggestions on sizing when your measurements cross into different size categories:
- With wetsuits, your weight is the best “tiebreaker” when measurements cross sizes. Remember, wetsuits need to fit snugly to be efficient at excluding water and holding in warmth.
- In looser fitting garments like drysuits, splash jackets, etc, look first at the height, then at the weight for a tiebreaker.
Even as winter’s first flurries fall, paddleboarders, rafters and packrafters are zipping into the waterproof-breathable protection of the Women’s Explorer Semi-Dry Suit. Built to tackle waves and wind, oceans and river without the added weight of an overskirt but with all the convenience of a dropseat.
- Semi-dry suits are a great choice for flat-water kayakers, stand-up paddlers and canoeists, as well as for rafters on moderate rivers with low consequences.
- 4-Layer Eclipse™ fabric uses 100% recycled materials for dependable dryness, breathability and toughness.
- TIZIP® front-entry zipper is waterproof, airtight and pressure-resistant.
- The punch-through neoprene GlideSkin® neck seal is a less restrictive alternative to latex that cinches to keep most water out.
- Latex wrist gaskets with protective neoprene overcuffs keep arms dryer.
- Mesh holes at the wrist and neck drain trapped water.
- Features our Paddler's Cut™ for an athletic fit.
- Leg design tapers toward the ankle and features internal elastic and silicone accents for a snug fit that stays in place.
- Cordura® panel at the interior ankle offers additional abrasion resistance.
- Eclipse fabric socks are double seam taped in the toe and heel to enhance durability.
- Sock size increases with overall dry suit size.
- Updated gasket material and construction create a dryer, more comfortable fit that's easier to repair than previous designs.
- Features one PFD-friendly splashproof chest pocket, buckle-closure waist belt and TIZIP dropseat relief zipper with protective flap.
Note: Zippers must be cleaned and maintained to ensure maximum dryness and extend the lifespan of a dry suit. Refer to our Dry Wear Care article for suggested zipper care instructions and products.
