Years in the making, many sleepless nights and feedback from dozen’s of paddlers on three continents, Level Six is introducing its first Dry Suit. The Barrier passes all the requirements we were seeking, easy to get into, Breathable, Comfortable, Functional and Durable. The Barrier includes all of the features that made the Mack Dry Top so well respected. Diving quality Latex Gaskets, tough 3-ply waterproof breathable fabric, no load bearing Velcro adjustments where they can come into contact with the water, and a universally comfortable fit. The Barrier comes standard with a versatile double waist tunnel which accommodates a wide variety of spray skirts, as well as a front relief zipper. To provide extra durability, we beefed up the attached water proof socks with Nylon Cordura under soles, making the socks tough enough to handle contact with the ground while you get into the suit. For total comfort though, we decided that this suit needed to have a rear shoulder entry zipper. Feedback from paddlers told us that this type of entry was the easiest to get into as well as the most comfortable to wear with a PFD or Life Jacket. For 2008 we are offering three color choices, Bright Red, Navy Blue, or a stunning Charcoal Grey with Red piping. During field tests though, what we heard most from fellow paddlers was that it looked sharp and was damn comfy. Features

•L6’s eXhaust 3 ply waterproof breathable laminate for a lifetime of dryness and comfort. 100% 194g / m² for durability.
•Our new Dual Cinch System waist adjustment that increases tummy comfort and stows the loose compression strap end out of the way.
•Level Six’s super DWR treatment ensures that the Mack surface fabric will stay dry and breath well even in conditions below 0º Celsius (32º F)
•Beefier British latex neck and wrist gaskets provide the highest quality materials and range of sizes.
•Light ½ mm neoprene over-gaskets to protect the latex from damaging sun rays and daily wear and tear.
•Waterproof chest pocket for stowing small items needed for the day.
•Available in size XS for kids or youth.
•Double tunnel waist closure for a dry seal with your spray skirt. Nylon webbing and buckle cinch system will stay locked even when wet and offers more reliable performance then Velcro.
•Front YKK brass coil waterproof relief zipper.
•Rear entry YKK brass coil waterproof zipper with protective over flap and control leash.
•Lightweight booties with beefier Cordura foot bed for durability when getting dressed in the field.
•Two hip located hand warmer pockets.
