What Northern Dive Says
A PREMIUM DRYSUIT
3mm DUAL DENSITY GAS BLOWN POLYMER
A return to a traditional drysuit ethos incorporating 21st century design and technology
Drysuits were traditionally tough and heavy and offered a lot of protection. Over the past 20 years suits have become lighter and more flexible; however RBX marks a return to the traditional drysuit - bomb-proof, heavy-weight polymer but providing modern-day levels of comfort and movement for the diver. RBX is a premium product and holds pride of place as Northern Diver’s top-of-the-range drysuit.
RBX is noticeably heavier than comparable drysuits - using dual-density gas-blown polymer means that RBX can provide the toughness of a suit twice its thickness without the bulk. The weight remains but the polymer thickness doesn’t - wearing RBX provides what many divers have been searching for.
Whilst an excellent choice for the sport diver, the advantages to technical and commercial divers is very apparent. With the toughness and durability, comfort and ease of use, RBX is very much a case of the traditional meeting the contemporary.
Hold RBX and feel the weight. Try RBX on and appreciate the design. Dive RBX and be convinced.
