MS-05Boarding drysuit
Entirely in NATO 4-1-4 trilaminate, integrated reinforcements, preformed knees.
Designed to deliver protection, durability and comfort in the toughest boarding operations. Preformed knees and the diamond underarm gusset give legs and arms freedom of movement, especially when climbing rung ladders, hence the name Shipboarding. The removable knee pads in Kevlar®-lined neoprene protect the knee and add comfort when kneeling. The result of two years of development with the military units supplied by DiveSystem.
Construction details

The “pence” preform the knee and follow its movement even at full flexion. Originally designed for climbing rung ladders during boarding.

Removes the seam running under the armpit: less friction and fewer stress points, free arm movement.

Housed in a pocket built into the knee, made of 2 mm high density neoprene with Kevlar® lining. They protect the joint when kneeling, are configured to the mission profile and can be replaced quickly.

Protects the neck and the neck seal from load-bearing gear and the tactical vest, reducing abrasion and tears. Holds the neoprene hood in position.

Sealed entirely by hand with Aquasure®: longer-lasting watertightness, simpler maintenance and repair.

MOLLE panels on the legs, with waterproof Hypalon webbings. Extra panels in other positions on request.

Watertight zipper for relieving oneself without taking the suit off and without compromising the seal.

High visibility stripes that can be hidden by closing a zipper when not needed.

Lets air in and out even without valves, with immediate manual control.
