The Viking HD is considered to be the industry standard for commercial diving worldwide. The suit material is as it suggests, heavy duty, built to withstand the rigours of diving in a harsh working environment. Whether the job is cleaning a ships hull, carrying out welding and inspection, or clearing a fouled propeller, the Viking HD is equal to these tasks and more.

FABRIC
The Viking HD material is a blend of natural and synthetic rubbers (NR/EPDM), on a two way stretch knitted polyester lining. Total material weight is 1550 +/- 100 g/m2.

SEAMS
Internal seams are stitched together with an elastic tape for security. External seams are vulcanised with a 25 mm rubber tape. Vulcanization is a chemical bonding process, ensuiring watertight seams.

REINFORCEMENTS
Additional layers of anti slip textured rubber are applied to areas at risk of wear. The shoulders and zipper are reinforced. The front of the legs from above the knee, down to the boots, and around the boots are also protected from abrasion and puncturing.

VALVES

The standard configuration includes the following valves mounted on canvas reinforcement discs:

• Push-protected inflation valve, located in the center of the chest strap.
• Hose: CEJN connector, 80 cm long.
• Viking X2 bleed valve on the left arm.

FOOTWEAR
The standard boots are an extension of the leg cuff, with a flexible, heavy-duty canvas sole sewn to the end. The sole is non-slip for better grip. Various boot options are available.
