Pinnacle

wetsuits, drysuits, boots, gloves

Pinnacle Wetsuits with Merino lining absorbs and retains any water entering the suit. The retained water swells in the Merino lining. In laboratory tests, Merino held 30% more water than the best synthetic linings. Pinnacle wetsuits with Merino Lining are significantly warmer than other scuba wetsuits on the market

 

This is because the Merino fibres absorb moisture, whereas synthetics can't. This creates a water-logged layer of up to 3mm between the neoprene and your skin. Merino is 'exothermic', which means it releases a significant amount of heat as it absorbs water. This helps you to warm your "water-skin" quicker.

 

The weave of the Merino lining also helps to reduce the movement of water inside the suit. Because this layer of saturated Merino is primarily water, it is not affected by depth. So as the neoprene crushes and becomes less effective, your 3mm layer of drenched Merino retains its thermal insulating properties.

 

In recent tests by the British Textile Technology Group, Pinnacle wetsuits with Merino proved to offer a 35% increase in thermal efficiency, in both dry and saturated conditions, over the best synthetic linings.

 

Below are a range of Pinnacle wetsuits drysuits, boots, gloves some of which are merino lined and other less expensive scuba wet suits which have conventional lining.
