I’m in the market for a drysuit for both whitewater kayaking and cold season fishing from a solo canoe. I’ve pretty much settled on Immersion Research but am wavering between the Devils Club and 7Figure. I know the Devil’s Club is designed to be very tough for bushwhacking/portaging but I don’t see myself being that hard on it. Is the 7figure noticeably lighter or better breathing? It seems like the 7figure is tough enough for normal use but maybe tougher is better. They’re the same price so that’s not a factor.
I went through the same thing when I bought my current drysuit. After talking with them, I ended up going with the 7 Figure. Looking back, that was December 15, 2016. I wouldn’t have guessed it’s been over 8 years already. I’ve replaced gaskets, which would be the case with any drysuit. But other than that, it’s still holding up just fine. One of the selling points was less evaporative cooling as the fabric holds less water, which is significant for me as I’m an ocean and surf paddler, so I’m a wet paddler often. But I only have the 7 Figure, so I can’t compare. I’ve been happy with it for kayaking and canoeing and regular kayak rolling and swimming and re-entries. It’s comfortable and works well.
