First, let’s look at what makes a good dry suit, so that you can make the right decision.

A dry suit's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of water temperatures, from cooler periods in temperate climates to unexpectedly cold currents. Divers can adjust their thermal undergarments to match the specific conditions, ensuring optimal comfort year-round.

Dry suits are different to wetsuits in that they keep you completely dry while you’re underwater (if you zip them up properly!). The dry suit also connects to the air tank and you can add a little air to the suit to stop it from squeezing you as you descend. Adjusting buoyancy with a drysuit can be a little tricky at first but you soon get used to it. It’s more than worth it for the extra warmth.

Just like finding the perfect mask, it’s all about the fit. Finding a drysuit that fits you well is important. If the suit is too big, it can leak or feel baggy and cause drag. Too small, and it will feel tight and uncomfortable while you dive.

Types of Drysuits

There are two main types of drysuits: membrane (laminate) and neoprene. The membrane suits are thin and have less insulation. They are designed just to keep you dry and you can choose drysuit undergarments to wear underneath to stop you from getting cold.

Meanwhile, neoprene drysuits are very thick wetsuits. They are warmer and heavier than membrane suits and are more streamlined. Both styles will have water-tight zips or seals to keep the water out while you dive.

When buying a drysuit, consider how many pockets it has and where they are positioned on the suit. Also, make sure you look at zipper placement and whether you will require a P-valve.

The Hollis DX 300X was developed over three years in a variety of demanding conditions to create the perfect drysuit. It includes a SiTech silicone neck and wrist seals for comfort, as well as a flexible, diagonal zipper entry. It’s constructed from 12 layers that promise to keep you warmer longer and boasts 25% extra stretch than traditional trilam.
