TrilaminateDrysuits

Trilaminate drysuits are a type of protective garment used in watersports and other wet environments. They are constructed from three layers of material, typically a durable outer fabric, a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle, and an inner lining for comfort. This layered construction provides excellent waterproofing while allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing the wearer from becoming overly sweaty.

The primary function of a trilaminate drysuit is to keep the wearer dry by creating a watertight seal. This is achieved through integrated boots or socks, watertight neck and wrist seals, and a waterproof zipper. The air trapped inside the suit provides insulation, and divers can adjust the amount of air to control buoyancy and warmth.

Trilaminate drysuits are popular in activities such as scuba diving, kayaking, sailing, and surface water rescue. They are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and the ability to wear thermal undergarments for warmth in cold water. The material is generally abrasion-resistant, offering protection against rough surfaces.

Maintenance is important for trilaminate drysuits. Regular cleaning and inspection of seals and zippers help ensure their longevity and continued performance. Proper care prevents leaks and maintains the breathability of the membrane.
