The blurb on the website says that the OX fabric is a bit stiff when new, but I really don\u2019t think this is that noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>I was initially a little bit worried about two features I\u2019d not had before, latex socks and a shoulder zip.<\/p>\n<p>The zip goes across your right shoulder, and then under the waist tube, and has an extra little cover and zip to cover the waterproof T-zip instead of leaving the (expensive) T-zip exposed. <\/p>\n<p>I thought this arrangement might get in the way when carrying a boat, but it didn&#8217;t at all.<\/p>\n<p>Having now had both a shoulder and front zip arrangement on a drysuit I still have no preference, but I will say that the extra cover zip did get a little annoying now and then.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk:\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15763\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/ir-arch-rival-drysuit-2014-edition-ox-fabric-review\/nilahue\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS M&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1417550532&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;55&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nilahue\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk:\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"IR Arch Rival Drysuit\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/nilahue-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The latex socks are still holding up no problems after 6 months of hiking in them with just straight in my shoes with no outside socks. I cut a small nick in one on something sharp, but a small bicycle inner-tube patch sealed it up completely, much easier than on a fabric foot. <\/p>\n<p>I feel that the advantages of the latex feet are that small holes like that are easy to identify and fix, whereas my old fabric socks would just leak slowly through the fabric after a while.<\/p>\n<p>I do a stupid amount of hiking for my kayaking and the socks have held up better than I would expect.<\/p>\n<p>I wore the suit in all sorts of conditions, hot\/cold\/icy\/glacial water etc., and was dry pretty much all the time. I don\u2019t sweat loads but still had minimal condensation on the inside after a long day of hot weather paddling.
