How easy is Cressi cold water gear to maintain and repair after frequent use?

Cressi FAQ · 1 question

Summary: Cressi cold-water suits are built to be serviced: latex neck and wrist seals on the Glacier and the neoprene cuffs on the Desert are replaceable, both drysuits ship with a paraffin zip stick and inflator hose, and dive suit and dry suit manuals plus the spare parts catalogue are published for download.

Frequent cold-water diving is hard on seals and zips, so the parts that wear are the parts we make replaceable. The Glacier drysuit's soft latex neck collar and wrist seals are fully replaceable, allowing for easy repairs if damaged, and the Desert's smooth 2.5 mm neoprene neck and 3.5 mm neoprene wrist cuffs are replaceable too. Both suits ship with a paraffin zip stick and inflator hose so the marine brass zip can be kept lubricated, and that zip sits under an external protective flap. Practical touches help day to day as well: the Comfort 7 mm's X-PLUSH inner lining is quick-drying, and its hood holder keeps your hood with the suit between dives.

Documentation is published for download. Manuals & Software carries dedicated Neoprene dive suit and dry suit user manuals, and the Service Area hosts the Cressi spare parts catalogue plus maintenance cards and service records for serviceable equipment such as regulators. Repairability is a design principle for us: every product must be functional, easy to use, repairable and built to last.
