(based on 3 ratings)
Brand: Apollo
Located in: Exposure Protection, Drysuits
Apollo's 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.

Comments about Apollo Apollo 4.0 EX Dry Suit Mens, Black:

Love my Apollo dry suit! Very comfortable. Fits me like it was tailor made. I have a medical condition and cannot afford to be cold or I will "pay for it". The Apollo keeps me warmer than when I am diving in the warm waters of the Caribbean. My coldest dives have been 49-50°. I use Long Johns and just regular sweats with a strap sewn in at the feet and have been just fine(and I am slender built). The suit is not bulky-much easier and more comfortable than a wet suit and when you get back on the boat it comes of quick and easy. While others are shivering you are warm and dry! Would never ever dive again in any waters that was cold enough to require a wet suit w/o my Apollo. If you follow the maintenance instructions, the Apollo will last years before any 'outside" maintenance" is required. Would highly recommend the Apollo and would buy another one if mine were lost or stolen.
