Palm Atom Womens Drysuit

The Atom is Palm's premium whitewater drysuit, here in a women's-specific cut, built for paddlers who are on the water often enough to need something that lasts. Seawastex® XP 4-layer PFAS-free recycled fabric with a durable high-density nylon weave, reinforced with 320D panels at the main wear points.

The six-panel articulated upper body keeps a hard-wearing suit mobile, and the GlideSkin neoprene outer cuffs sit over the latex wrist gaskets to shield them from wear, helping the seals last longer.

The shoulder-entry zip is generally easier with a hand from someone else, unlike a front-entry suit such as the Cascade. In return the zip sits out of the way rather than across your chest.

Choosing between the Palm drysuits
The Cascade is the good-value option and easier to get into single-handed thanks to its front-entry zip. The Atom is the premium whitewater suit, with the extra durability and articulated cut. Both will cope with sea and touring days if you want one suit for everything. For committed touring and sea kayaking the Bora is the better fit, adding a removable storm hood and a GlideSkin neck that stays comfortable over long days.
