VIKING HDS BLACK RUBBER DRYSUITS
Viking HDS
(Hazmat Diving Suit) heavy-duty drysuits are
made for commercial divers for use in
contaminated water and their quality is
well-respected worldwide. Whilst this batch may
not be the latest version of the HDS, they are
available at a fraction of the price of today's
version. They are non-standard in that the
stated chest sizes do not appear to be accurate;
there are also a few cosmetic blemishes, such as
minor creasing and a little surplus adhesive on
some suits. However, these blemishes are
cosmetic only and do not affect the integrity of
the suits. They have recently been
professionally pressure tested as confirmed by
the attached tag (see image below). They all
have the standard latex neck and wrist seals and
have had the valves removed and replaced by
blank plugs, which can be removed for you to fit
your own valves, if required. Each suit comes
with a repair kit, zip lube, braces, manual,
holdall and strong Viking carton.
The table below
shows the sizes shown on each suit's label, and
also the size range that it would normally fit.
Having measured every suit, the height appears
to be accurate but in some cases the chest size
is narrower than expected. Therefore, please
select your size from the
ACTUAL
MEASUREMENTS column, considering the fit required and
what will be worn under the suit.
As with all
drysuits, the seals will need trimming
(instructions in supplied manual) to fit your
neck and wrists. Buyers should try the suit for
size before trimming the seals as we can not
accept modified suits back. Holding
the neck seal away from your throat for a short
period will ensure safety whilst trying the suit
for size.
