Poseidon Flexisuit
The Swedish dive equipment makers Poseidon have launched a revolutionary new drysuit product. It’s called the Poseidon Flexisuit: Flexi because it incorporates the weight, flexibility and manoeuverability of wetsuits along with the insulating properties of regular drysuits.
The Flexisuit is made with a specially formulated type of neoprene (3mm thick) that is covered with durable Armatex nylon on the outside. This gives the Flexisuit durability, stretch, heat insulation and comfort.
The consequence of these design factors mean that the Poseidon Flexisuit is slim (especially compared to other drysuits) so that air movement is reduced, flexible in a similar way to westsuits but you can still wear at least one layer underneath it.

Is the Poseidon Flexisuit Built to Last?
You bet!
The Flexisuit has Kevlar reinforcements on the back, forearms and knees which make it resistant to the rough treatment that drysuit-necessary conditions invariably dish out. But the Flexisuit has a tender side too: its front zip is easy to open and close and the seals in the wrist and neck areas are fashioned with a nice almost soft and springy neoprene.
Poseidon’s Flexisuit is also not bogged down by the standard rubberised boots found on other drysuits. No sir! Instead, the Flexisuit has reinforced Kevlar socks which provide a relatively thin but fairly robust sole. This makes the Flexisuit a much more mobile drysuit and it’s easier to swim in too as you can wear most fins with it.
Flexisuit Sizes and Accessories
Flexisuits come in sizes from XS to XXXL but they can be configured and manipulated to fit all sorts of shapes and sizes through bespoke orders. Accessories such as Poseidon rock boots, hoods and gloves can all be added to your Flexisuit to complete your look!
Information About Poseidon
Poseidon has been designing and making dive gear for the commercial and recreational diving markets since the 1950s. Founded by diving enthusiast Ingvar Elfström in 1958, Poseidon was the first company to develop a single hose regulator. The Poseidon Flexisuit is another innovative string to its bow.
Look out for the Poseidon Flexisuit in colder environments… it’s a real winner.
