Dave Vass - Deep Canyon

Over the last few summers our guides have been exploring the canyons of Fiordland –some of the deepest, gnarliest gorges found anywhere.  These first descents require a lot of commitment and good gear. We’ve been wearing your 3/3 zipless titanium vipers, cos it’s often cold and we do a lot of very physical stuff.  It’s great having a suit you can be warm in and still be able to move around freely.
When it’s really cold, it’s easy to layer up with a hot top [or more] underneath and there’s no loss of movement.
Really versatile [I use mine for snorkelling as well – with a hot top almost as warm as my dive suit] and I’ve thrashed it for a couple of years now – at play and at work. I’m way harder on suits than a surfer, but apparently it’s still repairable!"
