State of the Art Comfortable Shell Dry Suit
Comfortable Shell Dry Suit
By adopting the latest material with high moisture permeability, it reduces stuffiness in the suit even when working on the shore or on the ship, realising excellent comfort. It also possesses water pressure resistance and can be used in conjunction with underwater work. Also improve the movableness by reviewing the cutting.
Biotex Highly Moisture Permeable Material
The Biotex Nonporous Membrane material features water pressure resistance of 25,000 mm. This material prevents water with a diameter of 100µm from penetrating and realises high moisture permeability and waterproofness by permeating water vapor with a diameter of about 0.0004µm through a microscopic intermolecular clearance constituted by micro randomly.
In addition 'Cordura Nylon 330 Denier', which boasts overwhelming abrasion resistance, is used for the outer layer. This adds outstanding durability even in harsh fields such as rescue work and work diving. Biotex provides overwhelming squeeze resistance, pressure resistance, moisture permeability, and durability compared to conventional products. It draws a line with the conventional moisture permeable fabric which was plagued by instability of waterproofness etc.
This Biotex material takes away the heat of vaporisation by efficiently dissipating the sweat to the outside, giving a refreshing feeling on dive boats or on the land, even in summer. It provides superior compared to neoprene dry suits and conventional shell dry suits.
The moisture permeability of the Biotex fabric is measured by the B-1 test method of JIS L 1099:2012.
Standard Large Thigh Pocket
A high capacity pocket is standard on the right thigh. When not in use, the pocket can be flattened by fixing side gussets with Velcro. The large pocket is equipped with a partition with a D-ring inside, a small storage with zipper in the flap, and tactical belts outside.
Size: 190 x 275 x 60 mm
Bio Dry Valve System
The Apollo original, state of the art technology 'Bio-Dry' valve system sets a new benchmark. With a low profile design, performance, easy operability and safety, the Bio-Dry valve system helps make the Apollo BCS Drysuit the cut above other suits in the market worldwide. (Note: Thee valves are all field serviceable.)
Neck and Wrist Seals
The special neoprene material Apollo use for both the neck and wrist seals is superior in seal performance and durability to all others. In addition, the inside of the wrist seal is repel coated for smooth entry and improved fit.
Waterproof Zipper
Non-metallic waterproof zipper made by TIZIP. While having high durability, it is also excellent in flexibility and reducing stress when wearing. A protection cover for the zipper is also built in.
Strengthened Durability of Hip, Knee and Elbow
Reinforcement materials are welded to parts where high durability and wear resistance are required such as the buttocks, knees and elbows. Since Apollo uses such supple and durable materials they do not inhibit natural land or diving based movements and activities.
Enhanced Waterproofing
As a result of over 2,000 pressurisation / decompression chamber tests, Apollo have developed a proprietary waterproof seam adhesion process instead of the conventional automatic machine sealing. This results in a far stronger leak resistant seam.
