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.
