Nookie Fusion Glideskin Dry Suit

Nookie Fusion Drysuit with Glideskin Neoprene Neck and latex wrist gaskets. The Fusion Glideskin is a firm favourite in Nookie’s team paddlers & coaches. The single cone glideskin neck is super comfortable yet provides an excellent seal from water ingress. The glideskin waterproof neck gasket (versus the latex version) is the choice of professional coaches, sea paddlers and experienced users who spend many hours on & around the water but who don’t want the restricted tight feeling around the neck of latex (a full latex suit will always offer the driest seal).

However, you must be aware that various factors can cause water ingress at any time and you should be appropriately dressed and prepared for this eventuality. Always wear a good quality thermal base-layer and socks under your suit, and other watersports-specific thermal layers if appropriate. Rinse and Dry – Always rinse your waterproof garments in clean, fresh water after every use. Your perspiration contains bacteria, so does dirty water, these will multiply and eat your equipment if allowed to thrive. We do not recommend any detergents because they can damage the waterproof membrane. Water is all you need. – Air dry your waterproof garments away from sunlight and direct heat sources (do not leave on a radiator or in an airing cupboard). Extreme temperatures will damage the clever waterproof and breathable membrane and can cause delamination. Machine washing, sun drying, cars in hot weather are all big no-no’s. – DO NOT leave your waterproof garments damp or wet for long periods of time. This can cause mildew and mould and ultimately will delaminate the fabric and cause it to fail. – We do not recommend any re-proofing products on your garments, purely because we have not product tested or endorse any specific brands. If you choose to use a re-proofer, make sure you follow the manufacturers guidelines and test it in an inconspicuous area first. Storing – Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, oil-based substances and chemicals. – DO NOT leave your waterproof garments screwed up in a dry bag. Loosely fold or hang your waterproof garments and avoid unnecessary compression. Avoid – Avoid contaminating your waterproof garments with oil-based substances, sunscreen and insect repellent. Oils, chemicals and fuels will damage the technical fabric. – Make sure your waterproof garments are cleared of abrasive dirt, sand or dried salt before each use (if salt water dries it leaves super abrasive crystals). Abrasives will destroy your product/damage the waterproof membrane from the inside next time you use it, rendering it no longer dry. – UV is very bad, using a product in the sun is one thing, leaving it in the sun is quite another. Keep in the shade when not in use, and never expose the lining material or latex seals to excessive direct sunlight. Drysuit After putting on the suit, ensure that the zips are fully closed and sealed. Vent trapped air out from the neck and be ready to do so again if conditions change. Swimming in a drysuit can be extremely dangerous. Make sure you understand about air venting, and always wear a buoyancy aid, before going near the water. It is the nature of the paddlesports for which the drysuit is designed that your suit may incur significant wear and tear. Whether the fabric wears through from the outside or the inside this can be repaired with glue and a patch of any nylon waterproof fabric. The suit has been tested at the factory to ensure that it is supplied leak free. If the suit begins to leak at one of the seams due to flexion induced tape lift, or on the fabric itself due to puncture or wear, you can easily repair this using the glue. Use only a thin layer of glue – a thick blob will cause a stress concentration and subsequent extreme wear of the surrounding area. When transporting the suit make sure that you keep the zips straight. Roll the drysuit up from feet to chest and gently wrap the shoulders (with the zip) around the bulk of the suit to avoid creasing or putting the zip under unnecessary stress. Latex Seals Please note that a latex seal does not have to be super tight in order to remain dry. Put on the garment carefully using a free hand to help open the latex seals and work them over your hands. Do not drag the seals over your skin while holding the fabric as this places undue strain on the construction and will cause leakage. It is advisable to condition your latex with Seal Saver (available here) to encourage durability and longevity of the seals. In common with all other manufacturers Nookie are not able to offer a guarantee on latex seals, but in the unlikely event that you break one, it can be replaced Replacement gaskets and glue are available from us. Plastic Zips – TIZIP MasterSeal The TIZIP MasterSeal is easy to operate, and pressure tested to 500 mbar. Heavy or sharp bending or twisting may cause leakage or permanent damage. Please try to avoid. It is highly resistant to damage caused by dirt or sand. However if dirt or sand are present, the zipper should be cleaned with fresh water. Dirt particles can affect the sealing function if they get caught between the chain profiles. The cleanliness of the chain area should be thoroughly checked prior to every use. It is also provided with a tube of lubricant, please use regularly to maintain the zip. TIZIP Masterseal zippers need to be lubricated on the docking end from time to time. Carefully apply the lubricant over the docking end surfaces on front and back and inside where they connect to the zipper chain. Repeat before long term storage, leaving the slider closed when dry.
