Whites Fusion Tech Dry Suit
This has been Janets personal suit, and she is every bit as careful maintaining her gear as I am. The suit has never leaked, never needed to be patched, and comes with extras. (everybody loves extras, right?)
The suit is a size S/M. Janet is 54 tall, and approx. 160 lbs. The suit fits her very nicely.
The suit is the Fusion Tech skin, which adds some durability above the stock skin without giving up any mobility, because of the strategic lycra panels.
Overall the suit is in excellent condition, there are no rips, tears, or pilling.
The chest inflator valve swivels easily. No leaks.
The Si-Tech exhaust valve. No leaks here, either. Note the condition of the chest zipper.
Speaking of the chest zipper, here's a close-up of the business end. The zipper has always been waxed every 10 dives or so, and moves easily. There's no binding, bent or missing teeth, bends, or any other nastiness.The zipper has never been replaced or leaked.
Mid-track on the zipper. The zipper isn't excessively frayed, as some zippers become after use.
The wrist seals have been dutifully wiped down after every diving session using Seal Saver, and it shows in that they still look essentially new. When Janet wore the suit, she had attached the Si-Tech Quick Clamp dry glove system. This can leave wear and checked rubber on the wrist seals if not installed (or) maintained properly. Not the case here, the seals are in great shape.
Speaking of seals, here's the inside of the neck seal.Janet used to wear a bio-seal, which did terrible things to the neck seal, and she had the factory replace the neck seal about 50 dives ago. Note this is not the replaced-with-a-heat-gun neck seal, it is a real sewn and glued neck seal that is indistinguishable from the one that came with the suit. After replacement, it was pressure tested, and never leaked (either before, or after, the new seal).
Here the neck seal has been stretched over a length of 4" diameter plastic pipe.The seal has been cut for a comfortable fit on Janet's 12.5" circumference neck.
A close up of the neck seal 90% of the neck seal looks like this.
This is how the other 10% of the neck seal looks. There's some slight checking of the rubber, which is still firm.
The suit has two of these pockets. Although not not as voluminous as a GUE-spec pocket, it accommodates a 1 meter SMB with a spool, and wetnotes, easily.
The knees are usually a tell-tale of hidden abuse. These are still unblemished.
Also included are the Fusion attached boots. These are size 8. These are removable to wear "Rock Boots", or Converse All-Stars, or whatever, over the drysuit's sock.
Here's the suspenders and data panel. The suit is one of the "black inside" ones, that tend to be a little bit more slippery than the grey interiors.
To distinguish her suit from the herd, Janet painted a little patch of the left arm purple. Here it is. If this really is a problem, I will be happy to scribble over it with a black sharpie before we send it.
Last but not least, the accoutrements - inflator hose (never dove) and zip wax (still virgin).
This has been a great suit for Janet; if she hadn't wanted the new silicone seals (which pretty much meant a new suit) she'd still be diving it happily. We considered keeping it around as a spare, but when we considered how easy they are to patch (our cat bit holes in MY drysuit. WTF?), it's just easier to carry a patch kit instead of a spare suit.
Rather than let it just rot away, at least it can make someone else dry and warm in stupidly cold water.
First person with USD$600 gets the suit.
Okay, here's the fine print: shipping costs to be paid for by the buyer (maybe $20 continental US ground). US/Canada sales only, the International hoops are just too much of a PITA. Suit is sold as-is, but I've tried really hard to show everything. PayPal or bank transfer or something that makes us feel like we'll really get our money. If you live in the NorCal area, we'd happily do face-to-face if you'd prefer.
Questions, shoot us an email or PM.
All the best, James
