Need new drysuit: NRS eVent vs Kokatat 3 layr Gore 17 years 4 months ago #20702

NRS claims the new 3 layer eVent is more breathable / comfortable than anything else. Wish I lived where I could try on both but can try on neither without a very long drive. Any advice is appreciated. Wes

Not sure which one you meant:

I can't comment on the NRS. From what I've heard, they sound like quality products. I've got a Kokatat dry top and I really have zero complaints. Never been that dry in my life. The material is super soft and the cut comfortable. The latex also doesn't give me a bad rash like some other dry tops do. The quality is second to none. Made in the USA since 1971. I'd go with Kokatat. :grin:

Just my opinion though

Need a skirt tunnel, don't consider that an option, so rules out the on sale GFER. So now it's the GMER at $900-975 vs the NRS Mission eVent at $850. Leaning toward the Kokatat... Wes
