1. DWR (Durable Water-Repellent Spray) - Designed to make surface water bead off the jacket, this spray is a crucial part of the garment's breathability. There are several DWRs available and their effective durability is reflected in their price. Because Level Six gear is made for paddling, their DWR is the toughest available.
2. Face Fabric - 194g/m2 100% nylon. Nice and soft to the hand without sacrificing strength.
3. eXhaust Membrane - This layer provides the systems waterproofness and breathability. The eXhaust membrane is an ultra-thin layer with micro pores small enough to prevent water from penetrating but large enough to allow body vapor (sweat) to escape. Sandwiched between the protective layers of the outer face fabric and the tricot mesh, this system is breathable and durable enough for the punishing demands of paddling. Water Specifications: -20,000 mm water resistance (water column test) Breathability Specifications -8,000g/m2/24hrs breathability (JIS L 1099 A1+B1 tests)
4. Membrane Protection - A polyester tricot lining is laminated to the underside of the waterproof breathable eXhaust membrane. This synthetic mesh protects the eXhaust membrane from abrasion and wear and tear with other clothing layers.
Pro Tips:
Day-To-Day Use:
- Remove jewelry before you put on or take off the suit
- Wearing layers and socks inside your suit/pants will help keep everything clean inside
- Be sure to protect the waterproof socks by wearing closed shoes/socks
- If the suit is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water after each use
- Fully dry the garment inside out after each use
- Store out of direct sunlight in dry, cool conditions
- Hang or loosely roll items
- Avoid humidity
- Never bend or crimp dry zippers
Cleaning:
- Clean out obstructions from the zipper teeth. Never force zippers to close as they can be damaged if closed over debris
- Use Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant to extend the use and life
- Do not use liquid laundry detergent or harsh chemicals when washing
- Use Revivex Pro Cleaner designed for cleaning technical outerwear
- Hand washing and rinsing is recommended
- Air dry. Do not put the suit in a dryer
Gasket Care:
- New gaskets take some time to form to your body. Speed up the process by placing an slightly larger object in the gasket and let sit overnight
- Keep your gaskets lubricated with 303 Protectant to improve flexibility and comfort
- Do not use chemicals such as insect repellent or sunscreen around the latex. These products are known to cause significant damage to the latex
- Even with the best of care, the latex will break down over time. We offer gasket replacement kits when the time comes
