Overview
A diver heading into cold water zips into this hooded semi-dry suit through a G-Lock front zipper with a neckdam. Internal dams seal the arms and legs, and the seams are double glued and blind stitched under liquid seam coating.
A tight barrier against water and a front zipper that is easier to manage than a back zip are the reasons to choose it. Semi-dry suits still let some water in, and this size will only suit very large divers.
Who it's for
Recreational divers in cold water who want warmth and a simple entry will like the front zip and sealed cuffs. Anyone needing a dry suit, a smaller fit or removable hood should look at other options.
Pros and cons
- Thick compression resistant neoprene
- Front zipper with neckdam
- Sealed arms and legs
- Double glued seams
- Semi-dry, not fully dry
- Heavy to pack
- Only this one size listed
- Removable hood not mentioned
Performance notes
A thick neoprene layer traps a thin film of water that warms to body temperature, and the neckdam and internal dams limit flushing. Compression resistance holds insulation steady at depth. Rinse with fresh water after use and air dry.
