I
am getting older and smarter and realized that I was pushing my luck kayak
fishing in the spring, fall, and winter amidst the frigid waters. I now have
the Mythic Gear ENKI Model Dry Suit. Named after a god in Sumerian mythology. He was the deity of crafts, mischief, water, seawater,lakewater, intelligence, and creation.
These
are truly dry suits for the masses. Never has there been dry suits the average
guy can afford on a tight budget. These are made like tanks, solid material,
and awesome craftsmanship. The zippers are the toughest I have ever seen. When
I put it on, the dry suit will puff up with air, that is how sealed my body is.
I open the zipper to get the extra air out.
I was stepping over a guard rail with my yak to get to my put in and
fell hard. The kind of hard you don't see coming over the rail and on my knees
on a gravel covered bike path! The suit didn't have a scratch all though my ego
was damaged.
The
temperature has swung from 15 - 60 over the last few weeks and I have been
Yarpin - Kayak Carpin. I have had 3 based layers underneath the suit and it has
done the job nicely. Actually with out
the suit I would of had more bulky layers on and would of been uncomfortable
and I do not think I would of toughed it out on these windy cold days with out
Mythic Gear.

Hey Pondboy. Here's a good way to get excess air out, called "burping" the drysuit: After you zip up, hold the neck gasket open with one hand, squat down as low and you can and press your arms against your chest. You'll feel the air escape through the gasket. When the air flow stops, release the gasket and stand up.
