Typhoon adds Roan Hinge lightweight drysuit to range

Typhoon International’s has launched its newest drysuit, the Roan Hinge.

The company says the YKK Aquaseal zip enables the hinge entry drysuit to be easy to put on and take off, while at the same time being comfortable to wear.

Typhoon says the completely articulated drysuit is a simplified version of some of its more advanced models but still offers many of the features of the more heavy-duty suits.

It has a glideskin neck seal, plus latex cuff seals for maximum waterproofness and is made from Typhoon’s TX-4 fabric.

The waist skirt has an elastic hem, while internal braces keep the trousers in place. The braces have a removable back attachment so that the seat can be dropped for convenience. Knees and seat are PU reinforced while fabric socks keep feet warm.

The Roan is available in a range of men’s sizes in Typhoon’s classic colour scheme of black with wide orange sleeve bands. Typhoon has also created the women’s fit Hendra Hinge Drysuit which has these features too.

The RRP for the Roan Hinge Drysuit is £549.99 and it’s available in sizes S-XXL.
