Nookie Charger Drysuit

The British made Nookie Charger drysuit moves with you because of it’s anatomical dynamic fit. Made from waterproof and breathable EvoTX4 (4ply) fabric with MasterSeal TiZips and latex seals, the Charger will keep you dry & comfortable on or in the water.

Colourway - Charcoal Grey/Lava Red with Shadow Black reinforcement

The commanding U.K. made Charger Drysuit has an impressive reputation for quality, durability, comfort and exceptional fit. A predominant part of the Nookie range for a few years, the Charger has faithful followers around the World from whitewater warriors to adventurous activity instructors and sea kayaking legends to weekend SUP boarders due to its versatility and ultimate reliability.

Designed to fit you, there are not acres of excess fabric. The performance led design features an anatomical dynamic fit to move with you, negating the need for a baggy loose fit like so many drysuits out there. The seamless underarm paddle-zones allow freedom when reaching for those all important paddle strokes. Easy to put on, the rear entry waterproof Masterseal Ti Zip® is supple, and for the more flexible among us can be zipped up and undone on your own. There is also a relief Masterseal Ti Zip® for comfort.

Double layer latex and neoprene neck and cuffs secure a dry seal with the fabric socks. The asymmetric comfortable fabric socks (they fit your left or right foot), have limited seams to make them last longer. Wear them with socks inside as a base layer and shoes over the top.

The double layer twin waist offers a better dry seal when in a kayak with a spraydeck. The outer waist is deep sharkskin lined neoprene for grip with low snag velcro adjusters for an extra secure fit.

The Nookie proven EvoTX4 4ply Nylon technical fabric is an exceptional waterproof and breathable flexible fabric that has such a reliable reputation we don’t use anything else if we want to keep you dry. Reinforced with EvoTX4 500D Nylon in high wear areas this drysuit will withstand plenty of knocks and scrapes. The whole Charger is waterproof taped on every seam and is coated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) for one more layer of water resistance.

Quality control is a fundamental part of our manufacturing process. We are proud of the high quality construction and finish of our garments. You only need to turn one of our products inside-out to see the flawless colour matched waterproof taping to re-assured of our British made quality.

We don’t just test one in a batch, we test every single one. From our experience, if there is a small leak in a seam it’s a minor imperfection and cannot be accounted for statistically, so we don’t trust just a visual inspection we choose to pressure test every single suit to be confident in every drysuit that leaves our factory.
