VIKING™ XT500 is designed to be worn on its own underneath a dry suit, or on top of the XT250 for added insulation.
Manufactured from high insulation, low bulk fabric, ensuring exceptional levels of protection. Even when wet, the XT500 retains a significant degree of its thermal performance, so that the diver can continue the dive in relative comfort.
Available as a complete set with top, leggings and separate socks, or as a 1-piece under suit.
Top includes a crotch strap to ensure a good fit under the dry suit and thumb loops to hold the sleeves in place during donning. The thumb loops should be removed from the thumbs and pushed back under the wrist seals prior to diving.
Leggings have an adjustable waistband and foot loops.
Separate socks included.

Safety Warning
There is no generally valid rule about what undersuit to wear at different water temperatures. An individual diver’s physical condition, body morphology, rate of work and working conditions and any recent exposure to cold, will influence how long he or she can tolerate exposure to different temperatures. There will always be great individual variability in thermal tolerance. The temperatures shown are approximate ranges for comfort for the different thermal performance of suit materials
The VIKING™ XT500 Underwear retains a significant degree of its thermal performance thanks to the high insulation and low bulk fabric blend of Polyester with a double layer that offers exceptional levels of protection. This thermal performing underwear includes thumb loops and a crotch strap to ensure an excellent fit under the dry suit, helping minimize the amount of air moving within the garment in order to reduce the cooling effect. Designed to be convenient, the high insulation, VIKING™ XT500 Underwear is machine washable.
