Rent a dry suit at Långholmen Kajak

At Långholmen Kajak you can rent a dry suit for kayaking all year round. We strongly recommend wearing a dry suit during the parts of the year when the water temperature is below 15 degrees, or if you are going to practise assisted rescues/Eskimo rolls and will therefore spend some time in the water.

Prices:
1 day SEK 450
2 days SEK 550
1 weekend (Fri–Mon) SEK 690
1 week SEK 990


The dry suit must be worn with some kind of shoes/sandals to avoid damage/holes in the dry suit's feet. The suit is tested after every rental to make sure it stays waterproof. Pick-up and return take place at our shop/showroom at Hornsgatan 151.

Are you going to practise rolling, or planning to go kayaking in colder weather? Whether you need a dry suit for a specific occasion or want to try one out before buying, we rent out dry suits all year round.

Both our models, Havspaddeln Inuit and Havspaddeln Valkyria, are made of 3-layer nylon with good breathability and waterproofness, and suit hobby paddlers and experienced paddlers alike.

Inuit has latex seals, while Valkyria has a neoprene neck seal and latex wrist seals. The feet are made of the same 3-layer fabric as the rest of the suit. Who said good things can't last? With a dry suit you can extend the wonderful paddling season for as long as you like.

Both the dry suit's arm cuffs and neck collar are made of 100% latex. We have also chosen to reinforce the fabric on the knees, elbows and seat for extra durability. To ensure the suit's waterproofness, there are also holes for drainage and the seams are welded.

The heavy-duty zip with a T-handle opens the entire front, making the suit very easy to put on and take off.
The sleeves have waterproof latex seals covered by warming neoprene. Adjustable Velcro around the collar and ankles adds comfort. The suit has two pockets, one of them on the inside.

If you decide to buy your own dry suit after your rental period, both our dry suit models are for sale in all sizes.

Fun fact

The Inuit of Greenland invented both the dry suit and the spray skirt. However, the dry suit was never used in the kayak, only for whaling. Sometimes someone had to jump onto the whale and push in the harpoon or hook! A Greenlandic dry suit was sewn from sealskin and had a hole in the chest that the wearer wriggled in through before it was lashed shut.
