Amphibious Drysuit - Manufacturer and Supplier

The amphibious drysuits originated from the assault drysuit of the navy / air force special forces, that is, they need to keep the combatants dry before arriving at the combat site (transport aircraft, helicopters and submarine transportation). After arriving at the combat site, there is no need to change suits and can directly conduct penetration operations in the underwater environment. Based on this demand, a military assault drysuit made of breathable tri-laminate fabric was developed that can be used in amphibious environment.

In recent years, with the demand for lightweight drysuits for recreational diving, many brands have launched casual drysuits based on navy assault drysuits. We also follow the trend and produce such products, but it must be pointed out that , This product is not exactly the same as diving drysuit. It is a kind of drysuits that takes into account both water and underwater performance. For diving applications, it is only suitable for a depth of no more than 20 meters (depending on different materials, usually 10 meters depth), so it is not a professional diving drysuit.

Amphibious drysuit due to the limitation of its own material (the middle layer membrane), PU film is prone to yellowing and cracking, PTFE film is easy to layer, and is not resistant to folding, so its durability is not as good as that of butyl tri-laminate drysuit. In addition, its diving depth is far less than the needs of scuba diving. Amphibious drysuit is a product with specific usage scenarios, which is suitable for some specific needs. If you use it as a substitute for butyl tri-laminate drysuit of diving, it will be a wrong choice and you will encounter some unforeseen troubles.

SGS Test Report (Breathable Tri-Laminate Fabric):

Description of SGS Test Products:
Usually, we use the American Standard ASTM E96/E96M method for moisture permeability test. This method specifies six test procedures. The test results obtained by different test procedures or even different versions of the same test procedure are very different. When comparing the performance indicators of related products, it is necessary to pay attention to the test program and version. The results of different programs and versions are not comparable.

Note: Breathable tri-laminate drysuit are not suitable for diving, but because of its light and low-cost characteristics, many brands have launched ultra-lightweight travel drysuit (equipped with inflation valve and exhaust valve) made based on breathable tri-laminate fabric, but it can generally only be used for diving at a depth of no more than 10 meters. In fact, there are also lightweight options for butyl tri-laminate fabric, but the price is more expensive than breathable tri-laminate fabric.

Drysuits Leaking and Maintenance Problems:

All our drysuits are tested for pressure leaks in a test pool before leaving the factory to ensure that the drysuits do not leak when shipped, but the harsh transportation environment (Abnormal collision and squeezing) and incorrect storage (abnormal squeezes) occasionally cause water leaks (rarely found).

Unless drysuits are rarely used, water leakage is practically impossible to avoid. Due to the use environment, strength, habits, matching, cleaning and storage methods and occasions, component life and aging and other factors, many drysuits are used after dozens to hundreds of times, it will happen water leaks.

Leaking does not mean that drysuits can no longer be used, most of the water leakage conditions can be repaired. We provide warranty services (quality problems) and repair services (use problems). Unless the aging material has no repair value, everything else can be repaired.

Under normal circumstances, common simple problems are recommended to customers to repair by themselves (such as small leaks, etc.) to save time and transportation costs. We have optional repair kits when we leave the factory, and various repair kits are also available on the market. If there is a big problem, it is recommended that the customer return to the factory for repair (for example: replacing the waterproof zipper, repairing a large break, etc.).
