Why Choose the Nomad?

• Built with 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro for top-tier waterproof and breathable performance

• Semi-dry design: combines dryness with increased comfort (no tight latex neck gasket)

• Integrated GORE-TEX socks ensure your feet stay dry

• Volcano-style neoprene neck closure for better comfort and less bulk

• Latex wrist gaskets + GlideSkin™ overcuffs protect and seal at the arms

• Front-entry Aquaseal™ zipper + relief zipper for easy donning and nature breaks

• Designed for paddlers who want serious protection without full drysuit constraints

Use Cases & Performance

This semi-dry suit is ideal for:

• Cold water paddling, fishing, packrafting, and touring where occasional splash or spray is expected

• Conditions where full drysuit neck latex seals feel too restrictive

• Paddlers who want a step-up from wetsuit / drytop setups without the bulk of a full drysuit

Note: It is called a “semi-dry suit” because it uses a neoprene neck rather than a latex gasket. In many paddling scenarios (especially where immersion is not extreme), offers the same level of performance as “drysuits”. .

Sizing & Fit Tips

• Measure chest, waist, hips, and inseam (in your street clothes / base layers)

• If a measurement falls between sizes, prioritize hip measurement first, then chest

• The suit is somewhat relaxed to allow layering underneath

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 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:

• In looser fitting garments like drysuits, splash jackets, etc., look first at the hip measurement, then at the chest, bust and waist for a tiebreaker.

• Remember, the NRS sizing charts reflect your body measurements, not the measurements of the garment itself.

• Rinse thoroughly (fresh water) after each use with periodic laundering as per manufacturers instructions

• Lubricate and clean zippers regularly (recommended: Gear Aid zipper lubricant)
