So Im in need of a dry suit and was looking at getting the NRS Axiom Dry Suit but I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on it? I can get a pro deal on NRS and would like to be able to get my dry suit through them but I have heard that Kokatat might be the way to go. Thoughts on NRS? Is close to $500 worth it to go with Kokatat?

NRS Axiom Dry Suit?
Zach from NW Rafting did a review of the Axiom:
Wade Harrison's review of the Jakl (mentioned in Zach's video):
The Axiom suits are Gore-Tex based, which is a clear step up from previous NRS suits in my book. I have never used a waterproof fabric better than Gore-Tex. I just end up less sweaty and clammy in it. Full disclosure, I've never used an NRS drysuit, but I have paddled with many who have. Generally the durability of NRS suits ends up being a serious question. I've sent Drysuits back to Kokatat and had them back in two weeks pressure tested and patched for something like $40. I don't know if NRS is going to do that.
I think I might get the Jakl for the additional Cordura.
