Questions about the Women's Crux Dry Suit
Does the Women's Crux have an overskirt?
Yes. A 5 inch wide neoprene overskirt with a double-pull hook-and-loop closure works with a spray skirt.
Does it have a drop seat?
Yes. It has a TIZIP drop-seat relief zipper with a protective flap.
Can the gaskets be repaired?
Yes. NRS updated the gasket material and construction on the Women's Crux for a drier, more comfortable fit that is easier to repair than earlier designs. The latex neck and wrist gaskets sit under Glideskin neoprene overcuffs that protect them. Contact us for repair help.
How do I choose a size?
Start with your height on the chart, then check chest, waist and hip. The 1X, 2X and 3X sizes run fuller through the chest, waist and hip at shorter to average heights, as the chart shows.
Is the Crux Dry Suit flame resistant?
No. It is water rescue and paddling gear. It is not flame resistant, is not structural firefighting PPE and is not NFPA 1971 certified, so keep it off the fireground and away from high heat.
