EXP - 600 - T   Specifications

TECHNICAL DIVING TAILORED DRYSUIT
      with SUPER HEAVY WEAVE OUTER NYLON

The EXP-600-T Technical Diving Dry Suit is the wreck diving, deep diving
or cave diving version of the NEPTUNE Series Tailored Dry Suit and is based on

the EXP-100 model, made by KME Diving Suits, Inc.

The EXP-600-T being used with a CCR-2000 Rebreather for deep diving in Puget Sound.

The EXP-600-T Technical Dry Suit is made from special Super Heavy
Weave nylon fabric laminated on the outside of rugged RUBATEX TM 

G-231-N,  1/8" (3mm) thick neoprene foam sheet, with standard 4 way

stretch nylon on the inside.  G-231-N conforms to Specification RE-41-E1

of ASTM Method D-1056-78.  G-231-N is nitrogen gas injected, neoprene

closed cell foam.  This neoprene foam is much stronger, warmer, more

compression resistant and resilient than the common extruded or chemically

expanded soft foam "off-shore neoprene" materials.  The "600" Super

Heavy Weave nylon covered G-231-N is available in Black only.

The back shoulder-entry zipper used in the EXP-600-T is a Heavy Duty

(size #6) gas and water tight zipper made only by "BDM" in England. 

The standard boot on the EXP-600-T is the K-Boot, an outer molded rubber
shell with a water tight neoprene foam "sock" bonded inside, then joined to
the dry suit leg.  The K-Boot is designed for swim fin use. The K-Boot is
available in sizes from # 4 to # 14, with no half sizes.  Other KME boots are

available as Options.

The Air Control Valves on this dry suit are TRIDENT ""TM  (commercial

grade) dry suit valves.   The TRIDENT exhaust valve is manually operated

and is designed to not let water into the suit when the operating button is

depressed.  The exhaust valve is designed to dump more air than the inflation

valve can let into the drysuit as a safety factor.  For the diver that wants an

adjustable self venting exhaust valve, KME offers the SITECH TM  low profile

model. The diver has their choice of valve placement in all KME dry suits.

All adhesives (four different) used in the EXP-600-T are the best available for
each use.  NO wetsuit grade glues are used. The seams are triple glued, primed
then hot taped on the outside, and then they are hand sealed on the inside with
KME's exclusive TCV system.

KME offers many OPTIONS such as an American made comfort or "relief"

standard (size #8) waterproof zipper placed horizontally just above the

crotch or a P-valve.   Another Option is an American made Standard (# 8)

waterproof back entry zipper.  There are many other Options such as different

boots, several types of pockets, commercial knee pads, internal suspenders,

other boot models, independent suit inflation bottle pocket or a whole Argon

system installed, latex seals instead of neoprene, attached hood and more. 

KME offers several CHOICES on the EXP-600-T, such as, Choice of valve

placement, Choice of Standard (skin side inside) or Reversing (tuck under)

neoprene wrist seals, Choice of Latex seals, and Choice of fit;

Snug (like a loose wetsuit),

Regular (for street clothes or light underwear with room for sweater over)
