Northern Diver Vortex: Fato Seco


" The Best Fitting and Most Stylish Membrane Suit Vortex is a membrane suit thats surprisingly comfortable and stylish. Made using an innovative pattern and soft but tough polyester Butyl laminated fabric. With a tailored fit, its more stylish than the usual baggy membrane suits yet is still highly flexible. This ensures a variety of undersuit options can still be worn in tandem for greater warmth. An elasticated back-panel and elastic braces/suspenders add to the snug fit whilst traditionally weak spots have been given dual reinforcements for greater strength. Every internal seam is also double-glued and taped for extra durability. Comes complete with a suit bag Neo-vulcanised hard-soled boots Latex neck and wrist seals Separate vented neoprene hood Bellows pocket on left with KN65 knife attachment loops (loops not shown in picture) Northern Diver push button swivel inflation system as standard Zip protection flap Fitted with variable air exhaust valve Available off-the-peg in 11 mens and 9 ladies sizes in black/blue Custom fit is an option on Vortex.
