The VIKING™ HWS is manufactured from an abrasion resistant material which is also easy to clean, thus combining durability and comfort. The suit features a new unique “click” function valve with 3 flow settings and a dump mode for increased diver comfort.

FABRIC
Suit construction: 5 mm neoprene

Suit exterior: RO-TEX™ nylon with a PU top coating. This creates a very abrasion resistant exterior which can also be cleaned down after diving.

SEAMS
Seams are double glued, and then stitched using a heavy grade polyester thread. The seam that runs across the lower torso is additionally coated for protection from abrasion caused by friction and other sharp objects often found in the harsh underwater working environment.

REINFORCEMENTS
PU reinforcements are added to the elbows and the knees.

VALVES
The Viking HWS features an internal configuration of rhomboidal rubber lines lined with a layer of neoprene for greater comfort. Holes have been strategically drilled in the lines so that when the hot water is pumped from the surface, it is dispersed throughout the suit. The water temperature should be monitored from the surface following the diver’s instructions.

Narrower neoprene lines are located at the wrists and ankles to distribute the water inside the special hot water gloves and boots.

The new hot water valve, designed especially for Viking, features a unique “click” function with three flow settings and a purge mode. The flow settings are HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW and correspond to an approximate flow rate of 49 L/min, 44 L/min, and 36 L/min. The inlet valve has a standard fitting that connects to the 1/2″ male fitting of the hot water supply hose. The valve is installed on the right side of the hip, making it easy to access.
