Membrane Drysuits

Membrane drysuits are made from thin materials, and thus by themselves have little thermal insulation. They are commonly made of vulcanised rubber, or laminated layers of nylon and butyl rubber - this is why they are also known as trilaminate drysuits.

At Northern Diver, we have a wide range of undergarments available in many thicknesses, from the thinner Rash Vests & Thermalskin to the more heavy duty Metalux range.

Membrane drysuits may also be made of a breathable material to enable comfortable wear when out of the water for long periods of time. Sailors and boaters who intend to stay out of the water prefer this type of suit. This type of suit is also supplied to the majority of the UK's Fire & Rescue services by Northern Diver.
