While it’s labeled a “water test” and known locally around here as a “pressure test” in reality it’s a trouble shooting means to have your gear properly repaired. Got a small hole? Got a bunch of small holes? Water test will fix it. Can’t figure out why your left arm keeps getting wet? Water test will fix it. Water test your dry top, water test your bibs, and if you’re getting ANY work done with your drysuit, you would be a dingus to not have a water test done. Being dry matters. Kokatat’s repair crew is awesome, capable and able to handle the “tools not toys” wear and tear mentality that every day boaters can put on their gear. There is a reason there are so few companies making this kind of gear… It’s not cheap or easy. But they stand by it and it’s gear worth being proud of.
Excellent customer service and quick turnaround.
