SS-01Combat surface drysuit
Patented waistline zipper entrance, extended Kevlar® protections, Hypalon MOLLE system.
Developed for Special Forces surface operations. NATO 4-1-4 Rip-Stop or breathable DS330 trilaminate, extended Kevlar® protections, patented waistline zipper entrance, preformed knees and diamond underarm gusset: maximum mobility without interfering with tactical equipment.
Construction details
Allows the drysuit to be donned with no assistance, reducing time and complexity during preparation. Keeps a clean profile under the equipment, with no interference with BCD and load-bearing gear.
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.
A first thin, flexible layer covers the whole knee; a second reinforcement in Kevlar®-lined neoprene covers the central area, where wear is greatest, without restricting movement.
An extra Kevlar® layer on shoulders, chest, back, crotch, buttocks, knees and ankle tighteners: the areas under the most stress resist abrasion and wear.
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.
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.
MOLLE panels on the legs, with waterproof Hypalon webbings. Extra panels in other positions on request.
MOLLE pockets and accessories fixed firmly and safely to the suit, without stiffening the garment.
Waist loops for the inner belt of the duty belt and for a holster with Velcro fastening: a stable fit, integrated with the equipment.
Adjustable: they take up excess material, reduce snagging and improve the fit with boots and fins.
All protections have oversized drains: water trapped between the layers runs out quickly and the suit drips less after leaving the water.
Watertight zipper for relieving oneself without taking the suit off and without compromising the seal.
Inflation valve on the leg (for the drysuit inflation cylinder) or on the chest; exhaust valve on the shoulder or on the forearm.
In high-strength nylon, secured with Velcro: quick, controlled action, even with gloves. Supplied without a plastic grip as standard, available on request.
