Origin 800

Posted on: 21st April 2008 by divemaster


Origin 800, the original Northern Diver drysuit, is still incredibly popular with both novice and experienced divers around the world and remains the first choice for commercial divers.

Manufactured from 8mm XO grade neoprene, it features an extremely tough Armatex® outer lining for added durability. And on the inside, the Ti-Ax® Thermacote® heat reflective lining helps keep you warm in colder waters. Being made-to-measure, you can be sure the Origin 800 will be snug, although you can opt for the commercial version which has a more generous fit. Available in all black or in the classic black body with orange shoulders and trim, it looks as stylish as ever. Heavy-duty zip as standard.

An added bonus of the Origin 800 drysuit is the insulative qualities of the 8mm XO grade neoprene which provides greater comfort for deco-stops.

With neo-vulcanised hard sole boots and rubber kneepads, it is durable enough to withstand years of action. The commercial version provides the added protection of steel toecap wellington boots as an optional extra.
