Made to Measure version of Santi E.Lite Plus Ladies First Drysuit presents an optimal and advanced combination of durability and modern textile technology dedicated to extreme sports. All in a feminine cut and design
The E.Lite+ models are made of two high quality fabrics. Critical points of the suit are protected with a durable E.Lite fabric while the front, sides and back of the legs are made out of flexible and soft to touch fabric for comfort.
This top of the range drysuit is recommended for all kinds of diving, especially technical, cave and wreck dives due to the exceptional durability of its fabric and additional protection of the most sensitive areas exposed to possible damage.
The lightness and softness of the Santi E.Lite Plus Ladies First Drysuit makes it perfect for travel.
With this model Santi introduced two new colours in the Ladies First line: arctic blue and turquoise, that are in hip of the fashion industry today.
The innovative feminine cut used in this model introduces lowered waist line and curved side gores that especially underline the feminine suit shape. E.Lite+ Ladies First protects exactly where it is necessary and at the same time guarantees exceptional mobility.
Two different materials
The E.Lite+ Ladies First model is based on the exceptional quality of the Santi E.Lite drysuit, however, it has been supplemented with a new, flexible and soft to the touch fabric, which even further increases the comfort of diving.
Critical points, particularly vulnerable to damage and abrasion, have been adequately protected with a durable E.Lite fabric while the front, sides and back of the legs are made out of flexible and soft to touch fabric for comfort.
Upper suit, upper front and back bottom legs are made of elastic, light fabric weighing 365-425g/m2. Back, elbows, lumbar area, the lower front of the legs are made of E.Lite fabric, 515g/m2.
Front Zip Direction
For the E.Lite Plus suit it is possible to have the front zip in two different direction. Choice is yours: traditional Left to Right or if you prefer Right to Left.
Santi Neoprene Hood
The suit comes as standard with Santi's 11 Neoprene (8mm) hood with an innovative cut, made from a very flexible neoprene.
The outer shell is covered with jersey while the inner coating is of the “smooth skin” type.
The new hood perfectly adapts to the shape of the head, it is easy to put on and take off, even after soaking. Very comfortable, does not compress.
Santi Smart Seal System
Santi drysuits come as a standard with most innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings allow fast and easy seal exchange for any seal you like or have at hand. The Smart Seals System allows quick and very easy seals exchange, without the need of special tools.
The Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any type of wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning a diver 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 Self-measuring" video below. The video shows all measurements for Made-to-Measure suits.
STEP-BY-STEP
Download the Santi MADE TO MEASURE FORM. Use only a taylor's tape measure that has a centimeter scale (only use metric with cm).
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.
HEAD - approximately 1cm above the eyebrows to choose the correct hood size.
NECK - above the t-shirt line, under the Adam’s apple and the end of the neck.
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.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER - back shoulders length from one top arm bone to another.
OUTER ARM LENGHT - from the back neck spine bone to the wrist while the arm is fully stretched.
INSIDE ARM LENGHT - from armpit to wrist.
LADIES ONLY / SIDE TRUNK LENGHT - from the armpit to the waist line.
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.
WRIST - between the palm and the wrist bone.
CHEST - first measure the chest in rest and then after breathing in air. Normally the difference should be around 3-5cm. For ladies measure in the fullest point of the bust, preferably while wearing a bra.
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.
LADIES ONLY / BACK HEIGHT - centrally from the neck spine bone to the waist line marked with the belt.
LADIES ONLY / CHEST HEIGHT - from the soft neck area (where the neck ends) to the bust line in the fullest point.
HIPS - in the fullest point of the buttocks.
THIGH - widest point approximately 5cm from the crotch area.
CROTCH TO KNEE - from crotch to knee.
CROTCH TO FLOOR - hold one end of the measurement tape in a convenient place in the crotch and measure to the heel end.
CALF 1 - measure the calf in the widest point.
CALF 2 - height from the widest point of the calf to the floor.
CALF 3 - measure the calf 20cm from the floor.
ANKLE - measure the ankle on the ankle bone.
FOOT - place the tape on the floor and step on it to measure from end of heal to end of toes.
