Ever wondered what really goes into the gear you paddle?

In this second part of our two-article series, we dive deeper into Level Six’s Exhaust Pro videos, focusing on fit, product design, and the thinking behind their new PFAS-free, 100% recycled fabric. From how women’s gear is developed from the ground up to the evolution of the Odin and Freya dry suits, it’s a closer look at how this new line was built from the inside out.

If you care about the waterways you paddle and the gear you rely on, the full series is worth a watch. Check the article on kayaksession.com 👉 https://www.kayaksession.com/understanding-the-gear-you-wear-level-six-exhaust-pro-technology-part-2/

Pumped to go paddling?

Get it... bilge pumps? Please comment and inform the marketing team to never make these horrific puns again 😢

In all seriousness, don't forget to check your paddling kit and make sure you have all the small accessories that matter when you need them most. If you are not sure what those are, the best place to go is your local retailer. They will know the best and most practical products for your local area.

The new Odin in Exhaust Pro 😎⁠
⁠
More than an update, this suit got completely redesigned from the ground up. New fabric, new seam tape, new fit, and new style lines.

We hope you enjoy our designers geeking out about it as much as we do.

In the fall of 2024, we launched a survey to get a better idea of how the fit of our women's dry suit was before we finalized our new design and also to get more data to support the fit. This launched a fundamental redesign of our fit and completely changed how we viewed our women's dy suit.

We are incredibly proud of our Exhaust Pro fabric, but of all the designs we have done over the past few years, this is by far the project that is most near and dear to our hearts.

We were the first paddle sports company to eliminate plastic packaging, the first to use recycled fabrics in our dry wear, and the first to eliminate PFAS from our waterproof breathable fabrics. Now we are the first paddle sports company to completely and from the ground up redesign our fabrics around being PFAS-free.

During that time, we have heard it all when it comes to the narrative that sustainable means a performance trade-off. We are here to tell you that Exhaust Pro and Exhaust Lite were designed not only to beat that, but to be better than the non-sustainable alternative.

TLDR: If you care about where you paddle, you do not have to compromise

Huge shout out to Casey Bryant Jones for putting this together.

Already excited to run it back next year ❤️‍🔥

Shout out to BOSS KAYAK for facilitating such a sweet event with something for everyone. Boating from class 2-3 and up, everything from packrafts to kayaks, athletes putting on an absolute SHOW, and one hell of a conga line. Put all that in the Italian Alps, and how can you not love it?!

Making A Fabric That Doesn't Kill You

This is Part 1 of a three-part series of videos describing the fabric and a look behind the products, the thoughts of the staff who helped bring them to life, and what it means to them.

We are nothing without our staff, and also nothing without all the athletes and ambassadors who have stuck with us through thick and thin. Also, those who put in long hours testing iterations of this fabric. This was actually filmed and edited by one of our testing athletes, Casey Bryant Jones, who put in long hours bringing this vision to life. He went far above and beyond what we would expect from any athlete, and he is not the only one.

To all of you who were a part of this journey, thank you.

The new Freya: By women, for women 🤝

We are so fortunate to have had an all-women design team who also worked on this project. This team was on another level on this one, and we could not be more thankful to have designers who are so dialled in on their craft.

The Freya in Exhaust Pro is truly a passion project by women for women. We will keep pushing out more info about it (sue us, we are excited), but the best way to learn more is heading to your local retailer and trying one on.
