Paddling Drysuit Buyer's Guide
Front Zip vs Rear Zip Dry Suit
Sleek and simple, yet reliable and robust, the 7Figure Dry Suit is pure money. The breathable, lightweight, bluesign® certified polyester shell is made entirely from recycled water bottles and is naturally hydrophobic, meaning the fabric won't absorb water after a long day of paddling. A one-piece neoprene band replaces the typical hook and loop adjustable outer tunnel to help make the 7Figure low profile and high performance.
