Found this on NCKA.  http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=74461.0

Rumor is it will retail for $829.

The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

Everything looks nice except the price, lol.  That said, pretty cheap if you were out of the boat.

If it was Hydrus I'd agree that price is steep.  But it's Gore-Tex.  For Gore-Tex, at that price, that is a steal.  Definitely makes me want to save up for that rather than a Hydrus suit for when my Tropos suit wears out.

When you figure in how well they back their products, it's worth the money.

I'm almost sad I picked up the hydrus about a month ago.

This is now on my wish list.

Kokatat fixes the one issue I've had with the Hydrus, breathability.  With a hard peddle/paddle the Hydrus doesn't stay dry inside.  For cruising days, Hydrus is fine.

Can't wait!

Me too, and for the same reason.
