SANTI E.LITE - No compromise in your urge to explore

Looking for a drysuit that can handle the toughest dives? Look no further than the Santi E.Lite Drysuit! This top-of-the-line suit is perfect for technical, cave, and wreck dives. All thanks to its exceptional durability and added protection for sensitive areas.

The secret to the E.Lite's strength is its exclusive Ripstop Nylon fabric. This is combined with an ergonomic Y-cut shape and meticulous attention to detail. Making it a suit that can handle anything you throw at it.

The suit also features a long front entry waterproof zipper, covered by an additional zip-fastened flap. The new Kevlar® knee pads add protection to the front leg area.

And like all Santi suits, the E.Lite has two big, solid cargo pockets with bungee strings to attach your accessories. It also has a handy additional zipper-fastened pocket.

Made from a unique Ripstop Nylon/Butylene/Polyester material (535 g/m2), the Santi E.Lite Drysuit is lightweight. Yet, it's incredibly durable thanks to its flexible fabric with inter-woven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern.

So whether you're a professional, technical or cave diver, or a diver just looking for the best gear for your next adventure, the Santi E.Lite has everything you need to take your diving to the next level.

But if you want all the durability of the E.Lite in a more comfortable configuration, the E.Lite+ could do the trick. (The Santi E.Lite+ Drysuit is made of 2 durable fabrics with critical points protected with an E.Lite fabric, and the front, sides and back of the legs are made out of a more flexible and soft-to-touch fabric for comfort.

Santi Smart Seal System

Santi drysuits come standard with the innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings enable quick and easy seal exchange for any seal you prefer or have on hand, without the need for special tools.

The Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning you can carry spares and change a torn seal in the field.

The Smart Seals System also gives the possibility of adding dry gloves using Santi Smart Gloves Ring System (purchase separately).

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF FOR SANTI SUITS

Carefully watch SANTI's Instructions for Measuring video below. The video shows all measurements for made to measure suits. For standard size or Made-to-Fit measurements please use the Size Chart.

STEP-BY-STEP

Never take your own measurements yourself! Measurements should be taken by another person to make sure all measurements are taken tight up to the body and at correct placement for a specific measurement.

It is important that you stand straight, look forward and do not bend over while you are being measured. It is equally important to take the measurements only while wearing thin clothing, close to the body. Don’t leave any additional measurement allowance.

CHEST - on the widest point.
INNER ARM - from armpit to wrist.
BICEPS - widest point on the loose arm. If you have a visibly athletic figure it is advised to measure the biceps also with bent elbow.
FOREARM - in the widest point.
WAIST - measure on the belly button level. Remember to measure the waist line in the widest point on the belly button line. To measure a female waistline correctly, use any kind of "marker belt" and fasten it around the waist line.
HIPS - in the fullest point of the buttocks.
INNER LEG - hold one end of the measurement tape in the crotch and measure to the heel end.
THIGH - widest point approximately 5cm from the crotch area.
CALF - measure the calf at the widest point.
BODY TRUNK - hold one end of the tape on the central point of the neck end and lead the tape across the crotch to the back. Mark the place where tape ends and measure the rest of the line to the spine neck bone. Make sure the tape is close to the body including all the curves.
