FUNCTIONALITY I probably don ’ t have to tell you that we spend more time in the water than in our kayaks ! The HENDRA delivers , keeping me bone dry even after an extended period in the water . The latex cuffs , covered with sturdy Velcro , and the comfortable neoprene neck seal are doing what they should do : keeping water out ! The same counts for the socks and the zipper ; nothing gets in when immersed . I felt no restrictions whilst paddling , swimming , and playing in the water .
Another good thing is the reinforcement on the knee and seat areas , and it comes in handy when training a lot on many rescue techniques . The Velcro on the waist skirt is adjustable and keeps everything in place when paddling .
VERDICT The HENDRA is a no-nonsense and affordable dry suit for female paddlers . It is a good and snug all-round suit with a fashionable look and a high-quality finish . The fabric is called TX4 and is used on all other TYPHOON dry suits . The only thing that lacks is a collar and hood .
This is , of course , a personal choice ; some paddlers rather have no collar and hood because they use the suit for white water paddling . For surfing , the lack of collar and hood is an advantage . I hope that TYPHOON keeps developing suits for women , maybe making a female-specific version of the already existing dry suits such as the Multisport Sea Kayak .
