Pyroflex from Scubapro: A Revolution in 1st Layer and Tropical Thermal Protection

Published 10 years agoon March 31, 2016

Available as a top or as a 1.5mm steamer, Pyroflex from Scubapro is perfect for diving and snorkelling in warm waters or pool training. Use as a layering option to stay warmer longer and get more out of your other Scubapro suits.

The Pyroflex steamer and top are 100 percent pure Everflex neoprene. This exclusive formula called X-Foam is manufactured from limestone neoprene and complies with the very strict PAH regulations. Due to its high micro-cell structure, limestone neoprene tends to be lighter in weight, is very durable and most importantly, its increased cell structure makes it a highly efficient insulator for better heat retention.

The outside layer of the Pyroflex steamer and top features a special water-repellent, high-stretch 1.5mm Everflex neoprene, which dries quickly and offers maximum range of motion. On the inside you have a combination of high-tech fleece and plush. The fleece can be found on the inside torso, behind the main panels and lining the arms and legs on the steamer and the plush can be found on the inside of the shoulders, side panels and wrists and also on the ankles of the steamer. These materials promote warmth, are super comfortable and also dry quickly.

Both Pyroflex steamer and top come with slightly higher neck collars for maximum comfort and to prevent BCD chafing. The steamer also features thumb loops and heel stirrups to avoid ride-up when used as an under layer, plus a YKK front zipper for easy donning and doffing.
