The Kokatat Tropos suits do look interesting. I'm not ready to spend money for real goretex, I would go to Tropos suit. Are they any good?

: There are so many variables it's hard to say how long a suit will last. I
: paddle a lot and wore out a Kokatat in about 6 years. But guess what?
: Kokatat will fix your suit if it leaks no matter how long you've had it.
: In my case they asked if it would be OK to just send me a new one. Hah!
: like I would turn that down. If I had bought a brand with less product
: support I would have had to replace it from my own wallet. They have a
: quality product and they stand behind it. Kayak Academy is great and I buy
: my suits and other gear from them. Note that they give a 10 percent
: discount, at least on suits, if you belong to certain kayaking
: organizations.
