Maximum comfort in cold water conditions - the NRS Explorer semi-dry suit in Legion Blue
The NRS Explorer semi-dry suit for men offers paddlers the perfect balance between thermal protection and freedom of movement. This high-quality semi-dry suit has been specially developed for kayakers, stand-up paddlers and canoeists who don't want to miss out on their water sports experience even in cooler temperatures.
Innovative materials for maximum performance
At the heart of this NRS semi-dry suit is the advanced 4-layer Eclipse fabric, made from 100% recycled Nylon. This sustainable technology guarantees reliable dryness, excellent breathability and exceptional durability. The water-repellent yet breathable fabric ensures that you stay dry and comfortable during intense paddling trips.
Sophisticated sealing systems
The waterproof TIZIP front zip in the chest area allows for easy donning and doffing while providing a completely watertight seal. The GlideSkin neoprene neck seal is particularly innovative, offering a comfortable alternative to latex and reliably keeping out most moisture thanks to its flexible fit. The latex wrist cuffs with protective neoprene overcuffs keep your arms dry, while strategically placed mesh openings at the wrists and neck allow excess water to drain away.
Optimised fit for active paddlers
- Specially designed Paddler's Cut for an athletic, movement-friendly fit
- Tapered leg design with internal elastic band and silicone accents for a secure fit
- Robust Cordura reinforcement on the inside of the ankles for increased abrasion resistance
- Eclipse socks with double-sealed seams at the toes and heel for long-lasting durability
- PFD-friendly waterproof chest pocket with convenient zip closure
- Adjustable hip belt with buckle closure for individual fit
- TIZIP relief zip with protective flap for added comfort
This NRS Explorer Semi-Dry Suit for men is ideal as a semi-dry suit for kayaking and SUPs for flatwater paddlers and rafting enthusiasts on temperate rivers. The thoughtful construction with improved sealing materials not only ensures a drier and more comfortable fit, but also makes repairs easier compared to older designs.

Our Recommendations:
Explorer (Semi-Dry)
The comfort variant for relaxed paddling in warmer conditions. The neoprene neck is significantly more comfortable than latex—ideal for kayaking, SUP, casual canoeing and touring where absolute waterproofness is less critical. Drop-Seat provides maximum comfort on long tours.
Foray
Perfect for safety-conscious sea kayakers on open water and coastal tours. The reflectors (men's model) increase visibility in poor conditions. The buckle belt makes it more flexible to use than models with Overskirt when you're not using a sprayskirt.
Crux
The versatile all-rounder for solo paddlers who want to cover various disciplines. With maximum waterproofness (latex), Drop-Seat comfort and Overskirt for sprayskirt use—ideal for sea kayak tours, touring and occasional whitewater. Best choice if you need a single suit for everything.
Pivot
Buy this model if you paddle whitewater or performance kayaking and need maximum freedom of movement. The back zipper doesn't interfere with intense paddling. Perfect if you're mostly out with a partner or group who can help you get in and out of the suit.
