XV-4 Drysuit by Seasoft
Much has been written over the years about SEASOFTs incredibly comfortable, technologically advanced drysuit, the SEASOFT XV-4 SCUBALABS said this: BOTTOM LINE: The TESTERs CHOICE in neoprene suits, the XV-4 is unsurpassed in comfort and warmth in and out of the water.
SCUBA GEAR REPORTS said, Overall, the XV-4 is one of the most comfortable drysuits we have ever tested.
The SEASOFT XV-4 is the perfect instructors suit when you want to be warm and comfortable and will be in your suit for hours. It is also perfect for that new diver who simply wants to experience the underwater world in absolute comfort, warmth and efficiency.
Here is what one of our customers said I have been diving for a long time and my new XV-4 makes me feel like my drysuit is part of me - not a suit I put on. I forget I have it on! Bill, Alaska
The SEASOFT XV-4 is a new type of fabric-coated neoprene similar to the swimwear used by Olympic swimmers. It has an exterior weave of tightly woven nylon threads that makes it very abrasion resistant with very little hydro drag. The SEASOFT XV-4s technologically advanced exterior dries very quickly and it has an incredible amount of stretch. This neoprene is semi-compressed and is rated to 180 feet (55 meters) in water temperatures of 55F to 75F. It is assisted in staying this warm due to the use of two layers of SEASOFTs TITANIUM FLAKE FOIL. Below 55F a diver will want to use the ALASKA Undergarment.
The SEASOFT XV-4 is truly a drysuit for any diver to covet, enjoy, and dive year after year.
The SEASOFT XV-4 also has:
- SEASOFTs world famous built in STEALTH Boots with an elevated heel and arch supports. if you are going to carry a hundred pounds of gear or more, you should have the footwear to do so.
- STRETCHTEX 3.5 mm neck and wrist seals that are warm, comfortable, durable and dry! They fold under so that the air in the fold, in an effort to "escape", presses the inner layer against your skin creating a watertight seal.
- Forearm mounted exhaust valves dump air 5 X faster than shoulder mounted exhaust valves. When the air is expanding in the drysuit during an UNINTENDED ASCENT and you are dumping air, there are times with a shoulder dump that you are dumping air only as fast or not even as fast as the air is expanding as you rise (Boyle's Law). BUT with a forearm mounted exhaust valve you are able to dump ALL of the air in the suit in a second or two - thus protecting you from an unintended, possibly dangerous ascent.
How does it dump air so quickly? There are a couple of factors in play. The XV-4 has a Raglan sleeve design, the sleeves are wide where they are attached to the torso. This allows air to freely move to the exhaust valve when the arm is raised. This creates a funnel ending at the exhaust valve. So when the diver wants to exhaust air they simply lift their arm as if their arm was their BC deflator hose and the air is funneled to the exhaust valve and it "burst" out until you lower your arm. Most of the time it will be a half second flick of the arm. Of course, because the valves are Si-Tech's best pressure sensitive, adjustable valves, there is never a need to push a button or even touch the valve. It all takes place with a simple, momentary lift of the forearm. What could be easier, safer or more efficient?
- Kneepads like made of a special abrasion resistant material called SHARKSKIN, this kneepad should last for the life of your drysuit.

Proposition 65
Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 – Warnings Required
WARNING: This Dive Right In Scuba product can expose you to certain chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
We appreciate your decision to purchase Dive Right In Scuba products to provide the best in water experience. We take our job seriously! You may have noticed that our products now show a warning label at point of sale referring to carcinogens and birth defects. You may also have begun to see warnings related to carcinogenic substances or substances causing birth defects prominently displayed in hotel lobbies, hospitals, or other places of business recently. These warnings are required by the State of California, and we believe that an explanation of the California statute legislating the requirement will provide you valuable information regarding the relative risks of the chemicals that may be present in consumer products.
In 1986, the State of California passed the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act; otherwise known as “Proposition 65” or "Prop 65". Prop 65 requires businesses like ours to disclose to individuals the presence of chemicals listed in the Act prior to point of sale. The regulations implementing this Act have been amended over time with the most recent updates will take effect on August 30, 2018. There are more than 900 chemicals on the Prop 65 Chemical List, including many chemicals that are found in components of a wide array of consumer goods or are used to manufacture components that make up consumer goods.
Prop 65 does not establish acceptable concentrations for any listed chemical; however, the agency which enforces it has established what is called "safe harbor" exposure levels for about one third of these chemicals below which warnings are not required. These "safe harbor" are established for listed carcinogens based on the quantity of the chemical that would result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime (70-year) exposure at the level in question. A similar process is used to establish safe harbor levels for listed reproductive toxicants. Additional information in plain language on safe harbor levels is available from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/Prop65/background/p65plain.html
At Dive Right In Scuba, the safety of your in water experience is our highest priority. We go to great effort to select materials that offer superior value, quality, and durability while also being generally recognized as safe and reliable for the full life of the product. Dive Right In Scuba also works closely with many regulatory bodies, such as the US Coast Guard and Underwriter’s Laboratories, to ensure the longevity of your on-water safety through targeted selection of durable, long lasting materials and components that undergo significant validation testing before being used to manufacture end items. Sometimes the safety promise we offer appears at odds with the health and safety requirements of other legislation in certain parts of the world when some regulations are updated ahead of others. To ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, Dive Right In Scuba has placed a warning on products that contain a Prop 65 listed chemical, either directly or as a part of the raw material supply chain. This allows us to comply with California law and provide our California consumers with the disclosure required by Prop 65, while still promising the safest on water experience possible.
Dive Right In Scuba is working diligently with regulatory bodies and our own manufacturing partners to continue to continue to improve our product performance and reduce the presence of less desirable chemicals. Water is a precious resource we all share that is important to the health and well-being of our planet and all people. Our goal is to continue to enhance your water life experience while reducing our overall impact to the planet and, in particular, its waterways. While it is a bit of a juggling act to achieve, we are confident you will see continued improvement in both the immediate and long term future. We hope this explanation will enable you to understand why you will be seeing warnings on some our products.
Thank you for your continued use of Dive Right In Scuba products.
