Purchase recommendation: Valkyrie or Odin drysuit?

With the Hiko Valkyrie you can also paddle in cold conditions and are protected from a cold shock due to sudden immersion in case of doubt. However, please note:

The suit has a neoprene sleeve at the neck for greater comfort when paddling. Moisture can penetrate through this over time. It is therefore not suitable for sea kayaking tours or white water. However, it is a very comfortable suit to wear when paddling on flat water tours, both on the SUP and in the kayak. We also recommend wearing a neoprene cap to protect your head in the event of sudden immersion.

The Odin drysuit from HIKO has a latex collar at the neck and is therefore absolutely leak-proof. This is an advantage in sea kayaks or whitewater kayaks, where capsizing is part of the programme depending on the conditions and requires a tight and dry seal. The disadvantage can be that the latex neck seal feels unusually tight.
