Clean, well maintained and taken care of Apollo drysuit; Always rinsed, zipper waxed and valves cleaned. Hung on dedicated drysuit hanger inside with no tension on legs. This suit has the ankle valves which prevent any risk of floating up feet first; the suit is extremely warm and comfortable. It has 2 ankle valves and two dump valves on the upper left and lower left arm; all of these can be adjusted accordingly; I have about 20 dives on the suit.

Further Details

Smaller is better 4.0 microcell neoprene has 20% smaller bubbles than conventional neoprene. Rather than crushing material to decrease density: Microcell is produced by blowing a gas, generally nitrogen, into the liquefied rubber to make a foam. Utilizing this thinner more flexible material provides you with a suit that swims like a tropical wetsuit; yet yields a warmth factor similar to that of a bulkier 6.5mm suit.

Versatility Perfect by itself in temperate waters, or wear a simple Polartech jumpsuit underneath to dive the cooler waters in winter. Planning to dive in some really cold water? Our test divers layered it with expedition weight long underwear for a three hour exploration in the 39F/5C waters of Japan's Ryusen-do Caves.

The foot valves are designed to keep air from getting trapped in the boot. They are so compact you'll hardly notice they are there. Yet the are sensitive enough to compensate for pressure changes as small as one inch by automatically releasing air.

I paid $1400 for the suit, I'll sell for 950 obo. I also have a Fourth Element Artic Extreme Undersuit Performance I can sell with it. Comes with Drysuit hanger. P6140225.jpgP6140224.jpgP6140219.jpgP6140223.jpg
