RS450K Cave Trilaminate Drysuit by Rofos
Rofos RS450K Cave Edition Drysuit: Armor for the Underground
Technical divers who scrape through tight restrictions and sharp wreckage demand gear that survives brutal environments. We offer the Rofos RS450K Cave Edition to meet those exact needs. Rofos builds this suit in Italy using a rugged Ferguson trilaminate material consisting of polyester, butyl rubber, and polyester. They cover this flexible core with a reinforced exterior to provide extreme cut and scratch resistance. High-wear zones like the shoulders, elbows, forearms, seat, knees, shins, crotch, and bib receive additional cut-resistant overlays. You get unmatched abrasion protection that keeps you dry when the cave pushes back.
Mobility in Tight Spaces
A stiff suit burns your energy and ruins your gas consumption. The ergonomic cut and telescoping torso work together with the quick-adjusting crotch strap to deliver exceptional freedom of movement. You can reach your valves easily and perform complex kicks without fighting the heavy fabric. An adjustable waist belt and fully removable elastic suspenders allow you to dial in the exact fit for your body type. This suit comes in specific versions for both men and women to ensure proper sizing and comfort during long decompression obligations.
Technical Storage and Hardware
Advanced diving requires specialized tools, and you need a secure place to store them. The RS450K features two spacious 3D Cordura 1000 pockets on the thighs. Each self-draining pocket includes four compartments and five internal elastics to secure your spools, wetnotes, and backup lights safely. A sturdy strap closes the pocket to prevent gear loss in high flow. For reliable gas management, Apeks valves handle your inflation and exhaust. You get a rotating inflation valve with a central button and a low-profile turret exhaust valve to easily vent expanding gas on your ascent.
Seals and Thermal Protection
Water integrity relies on high-quality seams and seals. Rofos seals the external marine polyester stitching with chloroprene rubber tape and three layers of glue, followed by hot melt tape on the inside. You get standard latex wrist and neck seals protected by a 3 mm (0.12 inch) superstretch neoprene warm neck collar. The suit also includes a highly engineered superstretch hood with varying thicknesses. The sides use 7 mm (0.28 inch) neoprene for warmth, while the neck features 5 mm (0.20 inch) material for flexibility. Baffled vents in the dual peak let trapped exhaust gas escape without letting cold water in. A reinforced support area comes standard if you decide to install an optional pee-valve.
Footwear and Customization
Incorporated 3 mm (0.12 inch) neoprene boots feature a rigid sole and instep reinforcements to protect your feet on rocky shore entries. A hook and loop securing strap on the ankle prevents air from rushing into your boots and destroying your horizontal trim. A waterproof front zipper protected by a nylon-zippered Cordura bib makes self-donning simple. If you want to customize your rig, we can order this suit with optional upgrades for an additional fee. Choose from a neoprene collar, interchangeable silicone wrist seals, a ScubaForce VegaValve for E/O cord integration, or neoprene socks to wear with lace-up technical boots.
