Brand: LEVEL SIX | Product: 2026 Odin Drysuit
The 2026 Odin represents a complete reimagining of what a whitewater drysuit can be. Built for paddlers who demand peak mobility, breathability, and absolute dryness, it is designed to disappear on the water — moving with the body, performing under pressure, and delivering all-day comfort without compromise. It is also built to perform off the water. With an ergonomic fit and a full body range of motion, gone are the days of dry suits that are only built for paddling and leave you lacking on land. This suit showcases three years of focused work on redefining how a men’s drysuit should move. Just as Level Six has rebuilt women’s fit from the ground up, we’ve been rethinking men’s patterns to better match the way paddlers actually move on and off the water.
This new Odin uses a completely revised cut with articulated elbows, knees, and seat patterning that mirror the natural motion of paddling as well as long days of portaging. The result is a suit that moves with you, not against you — eliminating the restriction and bulk that paddlers have long accepted as “normal” in drysuits. Level Six has also minimized seams on its new suits and thus reduced potential failure points. A taller 12″ tunnel improves skirt interface and comfort, further enhancing mobility around the core.
The effect is immediate: paddlers report feeling less resistance in every stroke, easier motion in dynamic maneuvers, and better comfort in long sessions. It’s part of a broader commitment at Level Six — not just to make a better women’s fit, but to systematically redefine drysuit fit for everyone.
This suit is more than just a well-fitted suit; it features our all-new Exhaust Pro 3-ply fabric — a high-performance material purpose-built for paddlesports, not adapted from other outdoor industries. Exhaust Pro is engineered from the ground up by Level Six to be PFAS-free and made from 100% recycled nylon, eliminating harmful forever chemicals while setting a new benchmark for sustainable technical fabrics.
What makes Exhaust Pro truly stand out is not its sustainability cred but its performance. Independent testing shows it to be substantially more breathable and more than twice as waterproof as our previous generation fabrics, with a 6,000 g/m²/24h moisture vapour transmission rate (vs 4,000 g/m²/24h) and a 33,000 mm hydrostatic head rating (vs 15,000mm). However, in real-world testing, paddlers report it to be even more breathable due to its hydrophilic and wicking properties. This means paddlers can paddle harder and longer than before, while still being fully protected against prolonged immersion in the harshest whitewater conditions. The fabric also has a slight stretch on a bias, which allows for that little bit of extra performance during hard paddling.
Unlike traditional laminates, which rely on PFAS-based chemistries and were never designed specifically for paddlesports, Exhaust Pro is engineered from the ground up with the dynamic demands of paddling in mind. The result is a fabric that breathes under high-intensity exertion, stays dry after repeated submersion, and flexes naturally with the body. Paddlers can trust it day after day — whether charging big water, grinding through portages, or training in cold, wet conditions.
Key Design Innovations:
- Exhaust Pro 3L fabric: PFAS-free, 100% recycled, with 6,000 g/m²/24h breathability and 33,000 mm waterproof rating. Hydrophilic properties boost real-world breathability properties while under stress in an immersion environment.
- Improved mobility: Articulated elbows, knees, and a revised seat pattern for unrestricted range of motion both in and out of a boat.
- Enhanced skirt seal: Taller 12″ tunnel provides a more comfortable and secure spray skirt position.
- Redundancy & durability: PFAS-free latex gaskets paired with neoprene punch-throughs featuring a tighter flush guard for added protection.
- Next-generation seam construction: New seam tape designed specifically for immersion with pre-glued seams and 30% more adhesive. This tape was designed alongside Exhaust Pro and made to withstand both prolonged immersion and the humidity buildup of high-intensity paddling.
- Minimalist design, maximum reliability: Reduced seams for fewer failure points and a clean, modern aesthetic.
- Sizes: S – XXL
Athletes who have tested the new Odin report outstanding performance across disciplines: the breathability under heavy exertion, consistent dryness after repeated use, and unmatched mobility make it the most reliable suit they’ve ever worn. From big-water expeditions to steep creeks, cold-weather training, and punishing portages, the Odin is built for the realities of whitewater — and built to last.
The 2026 Odin isn’t just a drysuit; it’s a benchmark for performance-driven, sustainable design in whitewater gear.
