Cortex IX Drysuit

 

 

By constantly improving existing technology whilst developing new fabrics, Northern Diver continues to lead the field.

 

This latest update of the Cortex builds on the tradition of Northern Diver quality, design and performance. With all the features you would expect of a top quality drysuit, the Cortex has rapidly become the diver’s choice of top of the range, extremely hard-wearing membrane suit.

 

Cortex material was chosen by the Ministry of Defence for their diver selection course hard-wearing trilaminate suits. Northern Diver also build drysuits for rescue services around the globe and their first choice for hard wearing membrane is always Cortex. We see what these organisations put our suits through and it’s a superb endorsement of Cortex fabric and construction.

What the press say

 

Available in fashionable blue with black and silver, the Cortex is manufactured from Cordura which is specially woven for Northern Diver in Switzerland. The seams – the parts of a suit that are the most vulnerable – are triple-glued, rubber-taped and then vulcanised. The latex wrist and neck seals are adjustable by cutting to size. Moreover, the neck seal is fitted with an outer flap, which reduces flushing in the separately supplied, vented neoprene hood. It’s a bit fiddly to use at first but certainly keeps you a lot warmer. For divers who use or are thinking of integrating a dry-glove system the suit is ideally fitted with warm cuff protectors, making the glove’s locking ring easy to fit. Other standard items include internal braces, a bellows pocket with knife attachment loops, drysuit bag which opens out to form a changing mat, maintenance kit and a drysuit manual. This suit would appeal to someone diving in varying conditions, as underclothes provide most of the insulation. It is nice and flexible, appears well made and certainly looks up to the rigours of UK diving. Personally, I would choose the neoprene neck seal option, only because I spend all day in a suit and I find them a lot more comfortable.

 

Conclusion

 

One for the heavy-duty club diver who also dives in the Mediterranean, Canaries and the Red Sea in winter.
