As mentioned earlier, the gas in the drysuit travels to the back of the diver when in trim, but equipment squishes away the gas down onto the back and mostly straight onto the kidneys. There is also 3mm Argon Aerogel on the front of the thighs, but also on the back and on the behind of the HALO A°R (as shown on the graphic).
REDDIT HALO FULL
With the innovative new insulator and these changes at the forefront, the new HALO A°R has the zip off-set to the left side – this is not just to look cool (which it does!) but to have a full 3mm Argon Aerogel panel covering and insulating the entire chest and your core organs.
The gas in the suit travelled to the highest point and all that warm air only insulated the back and behind of the diver in trim, so the chest and thighs needed additional insulation. This made the Halo 3D a fantastic suit, but quite buoyant and quite bulky.Īdditionally, we also used Thermal Imaging to analyse where the biggest heat-loss was on the Halo 3D, and it was quickly very clear that the greatest loss was down the middle of the chest where the entry zip was. What made the the Halo 3D so warm was strategically positioning spacer panels in areas that need most insulation for a diver in trim. The brief for the design team was to create a suit to improve on our (previously) warmest undersuit – the Halo 3D. At this point, it was immediately handed over to our design team to start the development of a new undersuit. Jim and Paul, fourth element’s founders, have experimented with the material for nearly 18 years, but only recently has the development of the material reached the stage that it can now be used at pressure without disintegrating.
