Palm Bora Dry Suit
Prices: £599.00 — £899.00
Sea Kayaking & Touring Dry Suit
The Palm Bora is a premium sea kayaking drysuit built for paddlers who venture out when conditions are at their toughest. Designed specifically for touring, expedition and coastal kayaking, the Bora combines exceptional waterproof protection with all-day comfort, making it a trusted choice for guides, expedition paddlers and year-round sea kayakers.
Constructed from Palm's highly durable waterproof and breathable fabric, the Bora is designed to keep you dry and comfortable through long days on the water. Reinforced panels in high-wear areas provide extra durability for launching, landing and expedition use, while the integrated storm hood offers additional protection when conditions deteriorate.
Unlike many traditional drysuits, the Bora features Palm's comfortable neoprene neck system, reducing pressure and discomfort during extended paddling sessions while still delivering excellent protection from the elements. Waterproof YKK AquaSeal zips, integrated fabric socks, adjustable cuffs and practical storage pockets complete a feature set designed specifically for serious sea kayakers.
What's new for 2026?
Palm has refreshed the Bora rather than completely redesigning it.
The biggest update is the move to Seawastex XP recycled 4-layer fabric, which is PFAS-free and uses recycled materials while maintaining the waterproof and breathable performance expected from the Bora. Palm is presenting this as a sustainability upgrade without sacrificing expedition durability.
