Palm Equipment offer a large range of clothing and accessories designed for all types of paddlers. Available in a great range of mens, ladies and kids sizes to suit all weathers and paddling disciplines there’s plenty of choice.
In this video, Beau gives an overview of the Rogen drysuit which has been specifically designed with SUP in mind. Unlike other drysuits, the Rogen is a clean, simple suit which allows for unrestricted movement when paddling. The waistband on the inside helps to hold the suit up and keep the pressure of your arms, whilst there are neoprene gaskets which are comfortable to wear for extended periods on the water. This suit is really well suited to a wide range of SUP disciplines, including winging and well worth checking out if you paddle in colder climates.
The SUPboarder team have been using Palm’s Cascade drysuit, but we feel this suit will replace that as it’s so easy to use and weighs less too.
For other SUPboarder Palm Equipment reviews and overviews see below.
Rogen Drysuit
Hi Beau,
In the video you said you hadn’t been overheating in the suit. I know almost two years have passed since this video was published, but do you remember maybe what the temperature was or at least in which month the video was filmed (I assume November, since it was published on 2nd of December).
You also mentioned that you would be using this dry suit yourself. If you did, can you comment on temperature range in which this dry suit is comfortable (i.e. the highest temperature where it makes sense to wear it)?
Best regards,

Hi Lukasz, thanks for the comment. We use this suit quite regularly in winter when paddling. We wear it when we expect to fall in or get wet (paddling smaller boards, bumpy water, rain, even winging sometimes), and also when we want a bit of a wind barrier as it keeps us warm in the elements. I’d put it on when the outside temperature is less than 10˚C but it really depends on the wind chill. If there is no wind, I’d happily paddle in just an extra layer like a jacket rather than the full dry suit. The main… Read more »
Hi Beau,
That’s a great answer, thank you very much.
I am planning to set up my autumn – winter – spring gear and was wondering what might be a possible transition point between a thinner wetsuit and a dry suit, so this 10°C might be a good threshold to consider.
Hi Lukasz. If you haven’t yet sorted a drysuit, just to let you know that we’ll be reviewing the new palm FUSE drysuit very soon, so keep an eye out for that review. It looks really well suited to SUP. Lighter & quieter fabric, with more of an athletic fit (less bulky in legs)

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for letting me know & remembering that I asked this question quite some time ago 🙂
In fact, I recently bought StandOut Bora drysuit https://standout-sport.com/collections/sup-dry-suits/products/bora-dry-suit?variant=41206300213416 and also thought about sharing my impressions of it, but I haven’t tested it yet.
Best regards,

Hi Lukasz. Glad to hear you’ve sorted a drysuit. It would be great to hear your thoughts/feedback once you’ve used it as I haven’t worn them before. Happy paddling! Lucy
