Care Instructions for Putting On & Split Lining
Care Instructions for Putting On & Split Lining: Split neoprene offers excellent thermal insulation, but the exposed foam is very fragile. To prevent tearing and scratches from fingernails whilst dressing or undressing, the use of SOAPY WATER or lubricant is ESSENTIAL. Handle the garment with the palm of your hand, without pulling on the seams. If there is a tear, apply some specialised neoprene glue.
Crotch Closure & Anti-Cling Hood
Crotch Closure & Anti-Cling Hood: The double-clip crotch strap features a swallowtail cut, specially designed so as not to constrict the pee valve integrated into the trousers. The shape of the face ensures perfect waterproofing. Inside the hood, a padded material is fitted at ear level to prevent the ‘suction cup’ effect (pressing against the face) during descents and to make it easier to equalise.
Reinforcements & Safety Whistle
Reinforcements & Safety Whistle: A wide chest plate cushions the impact of the speargun’s butt. To withstand friction against the rock, the elbows and forearms are fully protected by ultra-durable Supratex. In terms of safety, the jacket features an certified whistle housed in a dedicated pocket, so you can easily signal to your team-mate or a boat whilst on the surface.
GBS (glued and blind stitched) assembly & Materials
Glued and blind stitched assembly & Sheico foam: Made from ultra-flexible Sheico neoprene and lined with a stretch elastane fabric, this jacket offers great freedom of movement. The GBS assembly (glued and then stitched using a blind needle that does not pierce the foam) ensures the seams are completely waterproof and prevents water ingress. The Dope Dyed process ensures a pattern with salt- and UV-resistance.
