When tasked with building an even tougher and durable neoprene dry suit than its predecessor, Bare's design team looked to some of the toughest protective gear in the world, from across a variety of industry, and conceived a suit with Diamond-Tuff laminate, a heavy-duty metal dry zipper, wider HD Seam tape and extended K-PADz (Kevlar) knee protection. These features make the D6 HD highly abrasion resistant and give it long run durability. This technology makes suits without a single seam stitch. Instead, seams are double-glued and heat taped inside and out. This Bare exclusive deliver's superior performance and maximizes the life of your dry suit by eliminating holes in the neoprene from stitching. NST can be found on all neoprene dry suits.

Neoprene is made in 'buns'. They are cooked in an oven, then 'sliced' horizontally into the thickness required. i.e. 6.5mm, 5.0mm, 3.0mm. The sliced surfaces are called 'open cell'. The neoprene slice is sometimes compressed to offer more stable thermal and buoyancy characteristics and laminated on one or both sides, depending on the purpose. Abrasion resistant knit fabric with heavier yarns improves the dry suits overall durability. The right amount of protection on the knees depends on type and style of diving do. Bare offers a variety of fabrics, ranging from Kevlar to a durable and flexible Melco to protect you and your dry suit. K-PADZ are made from Kevlar laminated over neoprene with Melco 75500 taped edges for durability with added padding.
