How we calculate scores →About this gear
The D7 Evo updates Waterproof’s Nylotech drysuit design with Flexlock wrist rings and a flexible YKK Aquaseal plastic dry zipper. Flexlock has a viewing window to check seal placement. The suit combines this replaceable-seal arrangement with reinforced seat and elbow areas, SI TECH valves and pockets that include a separate compartment in the lid.
Consider before buying
The Evo’s wrist system is different from the QCS Oval system listed for the D7X. Confirm the glove interface and spares for the exact suit rather than assuming your older parts transfer. Try the suit with your actual undersuit and cylinder configuration; fabric flexibility alone cannot guarantee that you can reach your valves.
Our take
The Evo is worth comparing with the D7X when easier zipper movement and the newer wrist system matter to you. Top Dive’s test found useful pockets and comfortable movement but also individual valve-reach and venting difficulties. Try those actions during a supervised fitting and familiarisation session. The report supplies practical questions to investigate, not an independent numeric overall rating.

Elmar Klemm liked the movement and pocket arrangement but could not complete his valve-reach drill in the tested size and reported difficulty venting. The report recognises that these could be individual fit issues. No numeric rating is given.
