Icebreaker

Dry Suit Reviews — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:17:22 +0000

Icebreaker

This award winning product keeps you warm even in extreme cold conditions. The system warms to 42c using a 12 volt battery and keeps the core body temperature warm. Its unique design guarantees that it is completely safe, even when totally immersed in water. Stitched into each of the front and back pads is an intelligent polymer containing thousands of conductive particle chains. This unique fabric means that there are no electrical components in the suit and it could be completely soaked and still function properly. The unit is powered by a single 4AMP Lithium Ion cell, which is simply mounted on the BCD belt or cylinder. There is enough power to keep you warm for approximately 70 minutes on one charge. The current is so low it makes the Icebreaker extremely safe as there is insufficient power to allow the panels to heat above 42 degrees so no chance of getting burnt and no need for controls. Fitting is simple, a waterproof connector socket is fitted into a 13mm hole cut in the dry suit. The outside of the fitting has a two pin wet connector that can be safely plugged in or out when wet, even underwater. A 1 metre leash attaches to the battery and plugs into the connector when needed, simple and safe!
