Description

Drysuits were traditionally made from thick neoprene, were tough and heavy plus they offered a lot of protection. Over the past 20 years suits have become lighter and more flexible; however RBX II marks a return to the traditional drysuit - bomb-proof, thin polymer but providing modern-day levels of comfort and movement.

 

RBX II is a premium product and holds pride of place as Northern Diver's top-of-the-range drysuit.

 

RBX II is noticeably heavier than comparable drysuits - using dual-density gas-blown polymer means that RBX II can provide the toughness of a suit twice its thickness without the bulk. The weight remains but the polymer thickness doesn't - wearing RBX II provides what many divers have been searching for.

 

RBX II is very much a case of the traditional meeting the contemporary.

 

Hold RBX II and feel the weight. Try RBX II on and appreciate the design. Dive RBX II and be convinced.

RBX on test after 30 + dives with Sport Diver magazine.

RBX after 50+ dives...

 

We bumped into Charles Hood, chief tester for Dive magazine at Penzance Marina. We were pleased to see that two of the three man dive team were wearing RBX drysuits. Charles' RBX has so far been used for 50+ dives and has performed beautifully. Charles was interrogated about the RBX and he was kind enough to provide us with user feedback which we use as part of our continuous dive testing and which is integral to our product development.

 

What the press say

 

The Ultra-Flexible RBX is capable of coping with the stresses that UK divers can inflict on a drysuit. The dual-density polymer means that it effectively has the same toughness as a suit twice as thick. Furthermore, its outer shell features a small cross-stitch weave - reputed to increase its durability by 400 percent - and all seams are 'bonded for life'.

 

Kevlar reinforcing has been added to the shoulders and knees, while the zip flap, seat area and fitted socks feature overprinting. Each thigh supports a zipped cargo pocket with D-ring, and the arms each have a natty computer dock that's designed to retain the leading brands of dive computers.

 

We've been diving with the RBX for several months, and there are only cosmetic differences between the latest version and ours. It can certainly cope with the rough treatment we gave it at the Test Centre and, as you can see from the photograph, it looks as good as new. The latest version comes with quick-drying chest area, larger grips on the pockets (so you can use them with gloved hands), and the computer dock on both wrists.

 

Conclusion

 

Puts Northern Diver in the premier league of drysuits.
