Posted by Mike Duke. Mem Sec. Lleyn Sub-Aqua Club. BSAC 1809. on 6th Mar 2012 The most technical drysuit, in our Tri-Laminate suit range, its sleek design and super close fitting style, featuring Northern Diver’s unique ‘Constant Fit’ Torso-Flex system, has been very well received within the technical diving and wreck diving community. This unique system, unlike most membrane drysuits, enables the mid section of the drysuit to constantly adjust and flex, during the dive, allowing freedom of movement but without the need for excess drysuit material. In addition, the ‘ballistic nylon’ outer fabric...

Low Cost & High Quality Posted by Dave Marshall on 8th Mar 2012 Bought this drysuit 8 weeks ago, As I wasn’t sure on my size I went to Northern Divers showroom to see the suits in the flesh (so to speak). As I couldn’t decide on which suit I wanted, I asked for some advise / help. Although the Divemaster was the first recommended option I decided against it as I have always dove in a membrane suit. The process took a while as the staff were extremely thorough but i got there in the end. This new Vortex V2 drysuit is now known as the ‘Workhorse’ of our range of Tri-laminate Drysuits. Our original...
