The black size XS Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit is a complete drysuit built as a breathable mid-layer. Wear thermal clothing beneath it and protective outerwear above it to create a flexible system for wet, windy and cold conditions.
A Different Approach to Staying Dry
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit is not designed like a thick outer drysuit with heavy boots, reinforced external panels and bulky insulation. Instead, it acts as a waterproof layer between your thermal underwear and normal outer clothing.
This mid-layer concept allows anglers and boat users to choose outer garments according to the activity. Waterproof bibs, flotation overalls, sailing clothing or durable workwear can be worn over the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit.
Because the drysuit sits beneath the outer layer, the Gore-Tex fabric receives additional protection from hooks, rocks, deck fittings and other abrasive surfaces.

Breathable Gore-Tex Waterproofing
The main body of the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit uses Gore-Tex Bruessel fabric. The material is designed to block external water while allowing moisture vapour generated inside the suit to escape.
Breathability is especially valuable during paddling, casting, walking between fishing locations or performing physical work aboard a boat. A completely non-breathable layer can trap sweat, causing the clothing underneath to become damp even when no water enters from outside.
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit helps manage this problem while maintaining full waterproof protection when its zipper, seals and seams are properly closed.
Why the Fabric Works Well as a Mid-Layer
- Blocks external water
- Allows moisture vapour to escape
- Feels lighter than many traditional drysuits
- Packs into a relatively compact space
- Works beneath different outer garments
- Supports year-round layering
The integrated socks use reinforced Gore-Tex Pazifik fabric. They keep the feet inside the waterproof system while allowing the user to choose footwear suitable for the activity.
Front Entry Without the Heavy Bulk
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit uses an open front-entry YKK Aquaseal plastic zipper that closes near the neck. This arrangement allows the user to step into the suit without requiring assistance from another person.
The zipper placement also makes dressing and undressing more convenient than a rear-entry design. It must be closed fully and kept free from sand, salt and damaged teeth to maintain waterproof performance.
Neoprene seals at the neck and wrists create the remaining waterproof barriers. The soft material provides more warmth and flexibility than some rigid seal materials.
Entry and Seal Features
- Front-entry design
- Lightweight waterproof zipper
- Comfortable neoprene neck seal
- Neoprene wrist seals
- Integrated waterproof socks
- Elastic waist adjustment
Before relying on the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit, check that the neoprene seals sit flat against the skin and that no clothing, hair or accessories interfere with them.
Build the Right Clothing System
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit does not contain thick built-in insulation. Warmth comes primarily from the clothing worn underneath it.
Start with a moisture-managing base layer. Add fleece, wool or synthetic insulation according to the temperature. The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit then becomes the waterproof barrier, with durable outer clothing worn above it.
Suggested Layer Order
- Moisture-wicking base layer
- Suitable thermal insulation
- Ursuit MPS drysuit
- Protective outer jacket or overall
- Activity-appropriate footwear
Avoid compressing the insulating layers excessively. The relaxed fit of the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit is intended to leave enough space for movement and thermal clothing.
The outer layer should also be loose enough to avoid pulling tightly across the drysuit zipper, seams or neoprene seals.
One Suit for Several Water Activities
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit is marketed as a multi-purpose product because the same waterproof layer can be used for different activities.
Boat Fishing
Wear the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit underneath fishing outerwear to remain dry during rain, spray and an unexpected fall into the water.
Paddling
The lightweight fabric and relaxed cut support the repeated upper-body movement required for kayaking and canoeing.
Sailing and Boating
The suit can be combined with sailing clothing or flotation garments for recreational boating in variable weather.
Nordic Skating
The packable construction also suits activities performed near cold water, including Nordic skating where immersion is a recognised risk.
Outdoor and Professional Work
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit may also be worn beneath protective work clothing when waterproof protection and mobility are required.

Waterproof Protection Is Not Buoyancy
The Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit is a drysuit, not a lifejacket or flotation suit. It is not advertised with a Newton buoyancy rating and should not be expected to keep an unconscious wearer in a safe face-up position.
Wear an approved personal flotation device suitable for the activity, location and local regulations. A flotation overall can also be worn over the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit when the garments fit together correctly.
Essential Safety Practices
- Wear a separately approved lifejacket
- Select the correct suit size
- Close the waterproof zipper fully
- Inspect the seals before use
- Practise water entry and recovery safely
- Carry communication equipment
- Follow local boating requirements
Trapped air can move inside any drysuit after immersion. Users should receive appropriate instruction and practise in a controlled environment before relying on the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit in challenging conditions.
Keep the Waterproof System Reliable
Rinse the Ursuit MPS Gore-Tex Suit with fresh water after contact with saltwater, mud or contaminated water. Dirt around the zipper and seals can reduce performance and accelerate wear.
Dry the suit according to the manufacturer’s instructions before storage. Avoid sharp folds, excessive heat and long-term compression.
Post-Use Checklist
- Rinse salt and surface dirt away.
- Clean the waterproof zipper carefully.
- Inspect the neoprene seals.
- Check the taped seams.
- Look for punctures in the socks.
- Dry both the interior and exterior.
- Store the suit loosely in a dry place.
Small punctures may be repairable with an appropriate drysuit repair system. Professional inspection is recommended when the zipper, seam tape or large fabric areas become damaged.
