Where to buy

This stylish drysuit is our first hybrid. Waterproof has developed the first constant-volume, insulated drysuit. The patented material provides the lightweight flexibility of trilaminate material with all the thermal protection you want from compressed neoprene.

The inner, 3D mesh lining is soft and ultra-comfortable keeping you warm in even the coldest waters — testing was carried out in the Antarctic. Sturdy boots are five times more abrasion resistant than regular integrated boots. There is a neck ring which lets you easily replace the seal with silicone, latex, or neoprene.

The design and materials used make Waterproof’s D1X Hybrid stand out from its competitors. It certainly offers outstanding comfort and protection in the coldest of conditions. If you have the money to spend, this is one investment you will not regret.

Things we like:

  • Tough, durable material.
  • Looks great on both men and women.
  • You won’t always need to wear bulky undergarments.
