[alina35se]

I am looking for opinion of professional divers
We are developing diving dry suit that is my degree thesis. I have to choose material, seam construction and dry suit futures. Would appreciate your opinion and advices.

I think a questionaire would best suit what you after, perhaps web based or via email.

Im sure many here would take the time to help

One you can get out of really quickly after a long dive to go for a piss.

Get a small zip (or large if you are that way inclined) fitted to the crotch area of the suit. Saw a commie like this the other day and waondered why it had never occured to me before.

Perhaps this should come as standard?? Could be a bit chilly if left open accidentally though!

I am working on degree thesis of design and another one of product development

We choose trilaminate, but you can get trilaminate in so many different types
depend on layers
THe preferable for our clients is nylon /butil/nylon (because of price) and cordura/butyl/ poliester ( or nylon) because of quality
I was also looking on PU or PUcoated fabrics, my boss told me it is possible to weld it with Ultrasonic instead of sewing but producers are not recomend to use it for diving dry suit. Did you hear anything about this materials?
Trilaminates produced by several companies in UK. I was in contact with ferguson, unfortunatelly cant find links to others:
Ferguson Polycom

Windsor Mill

Hollinwood

Oldham

Lancs

OL8 3RA
Do you recognise any of them? Did you hear if ferguson had any complains about there fabrics?
Sorry I have so many questions, I would appreciate if you could help me if you have time ofcourse.
Best regards

Some of that will get lost in the translation I think Woz...

Design of our suit will allow you to go to bathroom without to take suit of completely, that are general idea.
If you already have suit you can install urinator, Sitech Sweden produce those. I don’t know if it is comfortable , I am not guy and cant try it
I have picture and product description if you tell me where to send
Any other futures could be of interest?

These are widely available but not many folks like the idea. The commies like them because they tend to wear the suit all day.

The relief zipper is just another place to leak.

Alina35se is far too glamorous to be a diver!

I am astonishing
and you are very talented
a extra zip is bigger risk for leakage
beside zippers of that kind are expensive
in design of our suit we found solution of that problem by placing zipp in different way otherwise you can install urinator on your suit
I upload picture of it on pervious add
At list for you guys it is always several solutions, what women suppose to do? Luckily we have more patients
