4E Arctic pee valve ready

[DaKoen]

Hey all,

I’ve got an 4E Arctic onesie, on the website it says pee valve ready but I haven’t got a little hole or something like that. Anybody know what they mean with this or how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

There should be a slit near the crotch to feed a hose through to attach to your privates. They usually have it on both sides but sometimes you need to remove a stitch which is holding it together.

It’s probably just the geometry of my drysuit; but I like to run the hose up outside of my Arctic undergarment and down through the bottom of the zipper. But there are little buttonholes on the inside thigh on each leg that can route a hose more directly inside of the Arctic

as someone who has had kinked hoses while diving lol shortest distance to the exit is how i have always routed my hose. with giving some extra room for movement of course.

Always important just for it to be comfortable on the surface and at depth .. so whatever floats your boat

Don't disagree with that- but in order to avoid all of the seams on my suit the p-valve ends up at the same height as the buttonhole on my Arctics (It's a Fusion suit, so +1 for all of the Fusion haters- but I still love diving it.) That means that to use pretty much any undergarment buttonhole routing I'm running the hose straight across my leg to the hole, then doing a sharp 90 degree bend a couple of inches away from the valve to head up my leg. It's both suboptimal and uncomfortable!

I can just cut fabric away with a knife or something like that?
