The new 2018 Typhoon Multisport Drysuit is another great drysuit from the Typhoon team who have a long pedigree in diving, expedition kit and paddling. Their drysuits are always a great mix of form and function with comfortable fabric and seals. You will see further down below this review that we have added some information about long term testing, where we have been using their original paddling drysuit (eight years) and the PS330 Extreme (two years) with no dip in performance.

 

Typhoon Multisport MS5 Hinge Drysuit

The Multisport drysuit has been put through it paces on the Yukon River, Scotland and also various paddling courses with plenty of time spent in the water teaching rescues. Above all it is extremely comfortable, hard wearing and is brilliant for coaches and professional users as well as new entrants to the sport wanting a durable and high performing drysuit. The Multisport is a stripped down simpler version of their award winning PS330 drysuit with fewer pockets and features but the same comfort and durable design. The flex closure PU dry zip back entry system has been incorporated into the suit, whilst providing unrivalled freedom of movement.

As someone who would prefer to be paddling in shorts and t-shirts, it is critical to me that drysuits feel comfortable whilst not too bulky and the Multisport is exactly this. Have a look at their multiple sizing options to find the best fit for you and check out the Typhoon range of drysuits for this seasons winter paddling.
