Testers' Choice: Bare 8/7 mm Velocity Semidry
Bare 8/7mm Velocity Semidry
Features: Water-resistant chest zipper; 8 mm hood with 5 mm smooth-skin seal; double-glued and lock-stitched seams; 10 mm pad over spine and kidneys; seamless underarms; abrasion-resistant knee reinforcement.
Bottom Line: There’s nothing fancy here: This suit gets the job done with solid design and construction. The lin- ing is effective, if not overly plush. Hood venting is excellent. High-stress seam intersections are well reinforced, and the generous inside flap on the chest zipper is the widest of any we tested. This suit puts the heaviest materials in the right places for comfort and warmth, has effective seals at the face, wrist and ankles, and gets all the details right, making it our Testers’ Choice in its category.
