Why We Like The Crux Drysuit
When the flows peak this spring, we love to break out and zip up the NRS Crux Drysuit. A 4-layer Eclipse shell gives this drysuit remarkable waterproof, breathable protection, and it's also stretchy enough to ensure freedom of movement while we're skirting eddies and dropping falls. The neoprene overskirt features a double-pull hook-and-loop closure to fit over your sprayskirt tightly, while top-quality latex wraps around your neck and wrists for a watertight seal in frothing whitewater.

After a multi-day trip...
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Large
Bought this new suit after taking a solo multi-day trip through the inner San Juan islands during the shoulder season. Kept me dry at all times and was breathable even in warmer air temps (60-75F). Getting in and out of the suit is fine, not the easiest but not unmanageable either. Neck gasket is a little too tight, even after stretching for weeks to expand it (and I have a moderate-to-slim neck size). The suit is easy to "burp" to remove excess air. The shoulder fit is a little broader than my body type but does allow plenty of room for movement while paddling. I wish the feet were hard-soled. I wore this with neoprene booties over the feel as I needed soles.

Great improvments for 2021

The new zippers, by 'YKK", that NRS are using are so sick. Not only does the matching colors look amazing, but they are so soft and flexible. It make the suit overall, so much more subtle to wear. Great to see NRS continuing to make improvements.
