UK Made Nookie Pro Bib Double Waist Dry Trousers, or salopettes, are designed to endure the harshest environments without sacrificing comfort. Designed with exceptional versatility to be worn with any double tunnel kayaking jacket or on their own with just base layering during warmer conditions. They include a waterproof TIZIP® MasterSeal relief/access zip for added convenience, wide elastic braces, retro-reflective detailing and waterproof fabric socks. These asymmetric fabric socks are designed to fit either foot comfortably & have minimal seams for enhanced durability. They are best worn with socks as a base layer and shoes on top for optimal protection.
The double waist is designed so you can interlock a double waist Cag (jacket) into the double waist of the pants providing a dry interior even when swimming. To use put your pants on over any base layers, peel the outer pants (stretchy) down, put your double waist cag on lifting up the outer waist. Roll the outer waist of the pants over the innerwaist of the cag, put the outerwaist of the cag over that. This gives you an interlock seal keeping you nice and dry.
