Origin Drysuit

Manufactured from 6.5mm XO grade neoprene, it features an extremely tough Armourtex® outer lining for added durability. And on the inside the Ti-Ax® Thermacote® heat reflective lining helps keep you warm in colder waters. The Origin drysuit is a generous fit to allow more room for undergarments. Available in black, the Origin 800 looks as stylish as ever - This timeless design never dates, proving that when a considered design and pattern is right, it stands the test of time.

Available off-the-shelf with wide-fitting boots or steel toe cap and mid-sole foil safety boots (Toecap and mid-sole foil conform to Safety Boot Standard EN12568/98).

With RockFabric® elbow, shoulder and knee protection plus heavy-duty rubber kneepads, Origin is durable enough to withstand years of action.

Origin is a proven, no-nonsense commercial diver’s drysuit.

Origin is also suitable for non-commercial divers performing long duration shallow water diving, diving with little physical movement or long duration deco-stop diving.

This is the suit that started the business. It’s the bruiser of the bunch and will suit any die-hard UK diver. The original design was developed for Mike Armitage’s (CEO at Northern Diver) passion for wreck diving and salvage. The Origin is made from 8mm neoprene and has a tough outer lining. This suit has an incredibly rugged feel and features a heavy-duty six-pitch dry-zip (six individually riveted teeth to the inch). This zip would be my preferred choice on all the suits. The hard-sole boots are neo-vulcanised and the kneepads are made from a choice of Kevlar® or rubber. The suit is also supplied with either a separate vented wet hood with a face seal or an attached dry hood with a latex neck seal. I’m sure you could get them to make the latter with a neoprene seal as this is a great combination. Two pockets are standard, however, these can be replaced with one larger knife pocket if preferred.

Conclusion

Great for cold-water wreckies.
