Contact us for availability - not all sizes & colours may be available (if available we will then make the link live).

The Passage takes design cues from the new GORE-TEX® Radius dry suit but in the lighter weight, high performance 3-layer GORE-TEX® fabric. This is the top of the line touring shell for paddlers wanting the most technical features and fabric in a paddling jacket. Featuring a dual-adjustable outer skirt and cummerbund waist incorporating 'hook & loop' compatible neoprene, designed to integrate with a spray skirt or other Kokatat dry pants and bibs. The Passage has a fully adjustable lightweight hood that can be removed or stowed in its fleece lined outer collar and a deep asymmetric front zipper that provides additional weather protection for its adjustable inner gusseted splash collar. Additionally the top has easy to access, self-draining zippered pockets on each sleeve, reflective accents, and latex wrist gaskets.

MULTI-FUNCTION STORM HOOD

The Passage storm hood is removable, or can be rolled and stowed under the full stand-up collar. The offset, water resistant collar zipper keeps the zipper chain out of your face. Hood face flap can be fully zipped in place for comfort, or snapped to the side if not needed.

Two self-draining shoulder pockets for your smaller essentials.

AVAILABLE WITH OR WITHOUT EXCLUSIVE KOKATAT SWITCH ZIP TECHNOLOGY

KOKATAT MEASURING GUIDELINES

Do not measure yourself. Measurements should be performed by an authorized and trained Kokatat retailer. Failing that, someone you trust to get in close with a cloth measuring tape.

Just relax! Look forward and stand up straight with your feet about 12 inches apart. 

Don’t move around and look straight ahead. Stop looking at your measuring partner or the floor. Remember, relax!

Take measurements in - preferably washed - street clothes and bare feet.

DO NOT make allowances for insulation layers under the suit. Kokatat patterns are designed to allow for adequate layering under dry suits. 

All circumferences should be taken at the widest point. If you happen to be measuring your wife or mother-in-law, you may want to refer to this as… oh, forget it.

Again… measure twice, cut once. 

The following measurements should be taken on the person’s front side:

CHEST: Take this measurement at the widest point. This is usually at the nipple area. Do not hold your breath, just relax. If the person is muscular, take a second measurement at the armpit area, across the upper chest. Use the larger of the two measurements. 

WAIST: Measure just above your hip bone where your body bends when bending sideways.

HIPS: Take this measurement from the side to ensure the correct placement of the tape. Place the tape around the hips and across the widest point of the buttocks. This might be a good time to come up with a descriptive word other than “widest”. Make sure that all pockets are empty.

INSEAM: This is also referred to as the “crotch to ankle bone” measurement for those very secure individuals. Have the person stand with legs straight and feet about 12" apart. Have them hold their hand to the side, with palm facing out. Place the end of the measuring tape between their first two fingers. Ask them to place the hand with the tape in their crotch area, snug up against the body. Just relax! Stretch the tape straight down your ankle bone. Ask the person to look straight ahead, turn their head to the right and cough.

GIRTH: This measurement is for the entire torso length. Place the tape at the base of the neck on top of the shoulder. Run the tape down the front, through the crotch and up the back to the starting point on the shoulder. 

This final measurement should be taken on the backside:

SPINE TO WRIST: Hold arm directly out to the side, parallel to the floor, palm down. Bend the elbow forward, stop hand in front of nose. Place the tape at the base of the neck, starting at the spine. Run tape along the arm, turn at the elbow, measuring to the wrist bone.
