Suit Preparation Prior to Donning
1. Ensure that the Velcro
®
wrist covers and ankle covers are
unfastened.
2. Ensure waist adjusters are loosened.
3. Ensure that both the outer shell entry zipper (MSD64X Series Only)
and the waterproof entry zipper are fully opened.
4. Ensure the suspenders are pulled out of the suit legs.
Donning the Dry Suit
1. Slide your legs into the suit until your toes reach the end of the
socks.
2. Don the suspenders. Ensure they are crossed in back but not
twisted.
3. Apply talcum powder inside wrist seals.
4. Place the right arm into the right sleeve.
5. Carefully place the right hand into the right cuff by pointing the
fingers straight, tucking the thumb underneath and inserting the
hand through the seal. Do not make a fist when putting your wrist
through the seal. If you need to pull on the suit to get your hand
through the seal pull on the suit cuff and not the seal. Pulling on
the seal can lead to damage.
6. Roll the Velcro
®
wrist covers back and refasten to a snug fit.
7. Repeat steps 4 - 8 for the left arm.
8. Bring the upper portion of the suit over your head, aligning the
neck opening with the top of the head. Reach inside the top of
the neck seal with fingers and gently pull the seal outward and
down as you push your head through. Flatten any folds or rolls of
the seal against the skin.
9. Close the waterproof entry zipper. Reach over your left shoulder
with your right hand and grasp the zipper toggle. While holding
the top of the zipper, pull the toggle down until the zipper is
completely fastened. Both sides of the zipper chain should remain
parallel while closing to avoid zipper damage.
caution: Placing undue force on the zipper may
damage the seal and harm the integrity of the suit.
never forcefully yank on the zipper.
