WATERPROOF SEAMS
BLINDSTITCHING IS THE ONLY SEAM THAT IS FLAT, COMFORTABLE AND 100% WATERPROOF. THE NEOPRENE IS GLUED EDGE TO EDGE USING A TWO PART CHEMICALLY CURED FLEXIBLE RESIN, AND IS THEN STITCHED USING A CURVED NEEDLE WHICH ONLY PENETRATES HALF WAY THROUGH THE MATERIAL. ALL SECOND SKIN SUITS ARE BLINDSTITCHED AND THERMO HEAT TAPED ON STRESS AREAS.
KNEE INSERTS
THE KNEE AREA IS CONSTRUCTED FROM HIGH DENSITY, PRE COMPRESSED NEOPRENE WITH A RESISTANT OUTER LINING, PROVIDING A KNEE PAD THAT IS BOTH FLEXIBLE AND DURABLE.
THICKNESS
OUR PREMIER RANGE IS AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT THICKNESS COMBINATIONS TO COVER THE SEASONAL TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS. THESE REQUIREMENTS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON LOCATION. PLEASE CALL THE SHOP FOR ADVICE IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT THICKNESS YOU REQUIRE.
NECK SEAL
AN ADJUSTABLE REVERSED SINGLE LINED NECK REDUCES FLUSH THROUGH AND CHAFING.
MINIMUM WATER PENETRATION
A SHORTER METAL YKK BACK ZIP IS USED. THIS IS BACKED WITH OUR C SEAL. ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY US IN 1981 THIS IS AN INTERNAL GUSSET WHICH IS SEALED EITHER SIDE OF THE ZIP OPENING AND EFFECTIVELY PREVENTS WATER SEEPAGE INTO THE SUIT. THIS FEATURE IS ANOTHER FIRST FROM SECOND SKIN WHICH IS NOW AN INDUSTRY STANDARD.
