The Palm Atom Women's Suit is a ladies kayak drysuit that is designed for the female figure. This has been designed with female kayakers in mind. For the male kayakers out there checkout the Palm Atom Suit, a very similar option but for the gents!
Palm designed the Atom Women's Suit for the female kayakers shape, it wasn't just a question of moving the relief zip! This ladies kayak drysuit incorporates a XP 4-layer fabric construction. This fabric is tough, durable and highly breathable. This ladies drysuit is easy to get in and out off due to the rear positioned access zip. The zip used here by Palm is an AquaSeal Zip, produced by YKK Zips. The same style zip is also used for the rear relief zip. This drysuit is all about the movements that are related to whitewater kayaking, this is why the Atom Women's is fully articulated. This means that all the key areas that bend whilst white water kayaking are already pre-bent into a natural position! The other job of this drysuit is to keep dry! So with this in mind, the suit features fabric socks to protect the feet. There is then a pair of latex wrist seals, these are protected with Velcro adjustable neoprene outer cuffs. The neck features a latex seal, this is then protected by a ultrastretch neoprene cone. The final seal on the Atom Women's is the double waist system, this seals with the kayak spraydeck. With regards to features, Palm kept this quite simple and clean, however they did include a chest pocket. This is located on the right hand side of the torso. Its perfect for keeping smaller things organised and close to hand, the pocket is accessed by a zip, but it isn't waterproof!
