In a departure from their popular neoprene drysuit range , O ’ Three launched the 90Ninety trilaminate suit to satisfy the demand from customers who loved the company ’ s neoprene suits , but demanded a membrane-style alternative . Constructed from a graphite-grey , flexible rip-stop material , the self-donning , telescopic torso front-entry suit is lightweight , flexible and durable . Weighing in at just 4kg , it ’ s ideal for travel while also being well and truly up to the gnarly aspects of UK diving . For just an extra £ 100 on the BASE model ’ s £ 1995 purchase price , there ’ s the option of quick-replace neck and wrist seals . A Si-Tech neck ring , compatible with neoprene , silicone or latex seals makes short work of swopping out a damaged seal . Fitted KUBI wrist connections with a matching dry glove system will also keep your fingers warm and dry , with the option to use wet gloves too , thanks to an inner conventional wrist seal .
The pre-bent arms , internal braces , low-maintenance zip and crotch strap make the 90Ninety easy to slip into , and it ’ s just as comfortable in the water . O ’ Three also offers a range of undersuits to ensure you stay warm , whatever the temperature . If you ’ re likely to use and abuse your suit beyond recreational levels , then further upgrades are also available . The 90Ninety Hybrid features a more robust lower half , while the 90NinetyDT is constructed from a material only 20 % heavier , but requiring twice the force to tear .
