Level Six Loki Drysuit

Level Six Loki Latex-Free Drysuit – Steel Blue

The Level Six Loki Latex-Free Drysuit combines waterproof protection with a more comfortable alternative to traditional latex neck and wrist gaskets. Designed for paddlers ranging from newcomers to experienced water users, it offers a practical way to extend your time on the water through cooler and less predictable conditions.

Constructed from Level Six’s waterproof and breathable eXhaust 3.0 nylon, the Loki features a front-entry design, integrated dry socks and adjustable PU-coated Lycra neck and wrist seals. It is particularly well suited to paddlers who have a latex allergy or who find conventional latex gaskets restrictive or uncomfortable.

Comfortable, adjustable latex-free seals

Instead of conventional latex gaskets, the Loki uses PU-coated Lycra punch-through neck and wrist seals with specialised adjustable closures.

These closures allow the fit around the neck and wrists to be adjusted according to the paddler and the activity. This provides a more accommodating alternative for paddlers who prioritise comfort or need to avoid direct contact with latex.

The tightness of the closure system affects how effectively the neck and wrist seals resist water when submerged, so each closure should be adjusted carefully before going on the water.

Waterproof and breathable eXhaust 3.0 construction

The Loki is made using Level Six’s eXhaust 3.0 waterproof and breathable nylon, helping protect the paddler from external water while allowing heat and moisture vapour to escape.

Level Six states that its waterproof and breathable fabrics are manufactured from 100% recycled nylon. The fabric, waterproof membrane and durable water-repellent treatment used across its eXhaust range are also PFAS-free.

PFAS-free paddling protection

The Loki was the first Level Six drysuit to use the brand’s PFAS-free fabrics, marking a move away from the persistent fluorinated chemicals traditionally used in waterproof outdoor clothing.

This makes the Loki a strong option for paddlers looking for capable dry protection with a more considered approach to material selection.

Practical front-entry design

The front-entry zip makes the suit straightforward to put on and remove without requiring assistance. A separate front relief zip adds convenience during longer days on or beside the water.

Unlike a technical whitewater drysuit with a dedicated spraydeck tunnel, the Loki has a clean, unrestricted waist area. This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Open canoeing
• Stand-up paddleboarding
• Sit-on-top kayaking
• Touring and recreational paddling
• General watersports use
• Paddlers who do not require a twin-waist spraydeck system

The streamlined design also reduces unnecessary bulk around the waist and helps preserve freedom of movement while paddling.

Built-in dry socks

Integrated three-layer dry socks provide continuous protection from the suit legs into the feet. This removes the need for a separate seal at the ankle and helps keep the paddler protected when launching, landing or standing in shallow water.

The socks should be worn inside appropriately sized paddling footwear to protect the fabric from abrasion and punctures.

Reinforced for regular paddling

The knees are reinforced to provide additional protection in a high-wear area, whether kneeling in a canoe, preparing equipment on the bank or moving around a paddleboard.

Level Six also uses several construction and quality-control processes across the Loki, including:

• Pre-glued and double-rolled seams
• Specialised seam tape designed to improve bonding
• Strength-tested seams
• Pressure testing of completed drywear

These measures are intended to support dependable construction and identify potential leaks before the suit leaves production.

Who is the Level Six Loki drysuit for?

The Loki is designed for paddlers who want reliable full-body dry protection but prefer an alternative to tight latex gaskets. It is particularly relevant for:

• Paddlers with a latex allergy
• Canoeists, paddleboarders and sit-on-top kayakers
• Recreational and touring paddlers
• Beginners purchasing their first drysuit
• Experienced paddlers prioritising adjustable seal comfort
• Anyone looking for recycled and PFAS-free drywear materials

For paddlers using a closed-cockpit kayak with a spraydeck, consider whether you require a dedicated twin-waist or spraydeck tunnel before choosing the Loki.
