Neoprene

Warmbac Warmtex simple kneepads. High spec and very tough knee pads. Outer surface coated with very durable warmtex material. Inner surface is higher friction sharkskin to help keep kneepads in place. Simple 2.5mm neoprene straps to provide uncomplicated and solid attachment. These days, most Warmtex is blue, not yellow. Top tip: glue a *small* patch of spare neoprene (an old wetsock, perhaps)on the inside of the kneepad, as soon as you can after purchase. Just enough to cover the lower joint, not so much as to cause the kneepad to become inflexible and gape at the sides (which would allow gravel in). Your knees will love you for it in future years!

Warmbac 5mm elbow pads. High quality with thinner neoprene straps to reduce arm fatigue caused by restricted circulation. Sharkskin lined one side to increase friction against the suit, helping keeping the pads in place when in use. For digging and high contact caving e.g. most of Mendip, these are a good investment. They are more easily replaced than elbow joints, and more cheaply than oversuits!

Warmbac Divers Vest Wetsuit vest in 2mm neoprene with 5mm neoprene hood attached. Durable zip side opening. Designed to team with the Speleo Pro wetsuit to create a system suited for classic British 'amphibious' trips, involving both significant caving plus less deep / prolonged diving. Also can be used to upgrade the warmth of other semi-dry suits - the attached hood reduces flushing and thus heat loss. Relatively small and light, making it easy to carry to dive sites, or during prolonged journeys between aqueous bits. Chest sizes 42, 44, 46 inches. Please specify.

Warmbac neoprene glue. In a 125mm tin. Enough for patching, but not to make a suit!

Warmbac Speleo Pro wetsuit. Very high quality caving suit in 4.5mm neoprene. Knees and elbows in durable warmtex material, heavy duty front zip fastening. Thinner 'flex' panels at the joints helps improve flexibility. Suitable for significantly wet trips and sporting stream caves, or where swimming is expected.The taped seams reduce water flushing through to make a good, warm suit. Used in combination with the Warmbac Divers Vest for cave diving; a very versatile and effective combination where caving alternates with diving. Sizes 38 - 46

Warmbac Warmtex adjustable knee pads. High spec and very tough knee pads. Outer surface coated with very durable warmtex material. Inner surface is higher friction sharkskin to help keep kneepads in place. Fully adjustable Velcro straps provide a surprisingly solid attachment. Top tip: glue a *small* patch of spare neoprene (part of an old wetsock, perhaps)on the inside of the kneepad, as soon as you can after purchase. Just enough to cover the lower joint, not so much as to cause the kneepad to become inflexible and gape at the sides (which would allow gravel in). Your knees will love you for it in future years!

Warmbac wetsocks, short. High quality five piece neoprene socks ideal for wet caves. For an excellent fit in your boots, and to avoid blisters if you're planning on doing *lots* of prussiking, add trainer insoles! Available in sizes 4 - 12, other sizes made to order (we have supplied size 15!)
