Howdy all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a company making drysuits using GE eVent or eVent Pro that include non-latex booties?  I have a technical hardshell made from eVent Pro ripstop, and it kicks the pants off of the Goretex jackets that I have in terms of breathability and CDI factor.

I think your best bet would be to email NRS and ask if they will be coming out with one in the future. Either that or buy the $850 NRS eVent drysuit and replace the booties with eVent ones.

I double-checked everyone I know of, and NRS is the only one using eVent so far. they are also firmly committed to the latex booties, the reason for which I've long forgotten.

There probably committed to the latex because it is easy to repair/replace.

I'll check with NRS, and poke around my local REI.
