Immersion Research Women’s Aphrodite Dry Suit Immersion Research

New for 2023, the Immersion Research Women’s Aphrodite Dry Suit features an improved, articulated women’s specific cut designed to fit a diverse range of body shapes and sizes. More room in the upper thighs, seat and shoulders increases mobility while the streamlined neck cuff makes entry even easier. A strategically placed clamshell zipper functions as an entry and relief zipper, minimizing bulk and maximizing range of movement. The zipper offers a user-friendly and spacious opening for easy relief during the day and sits conveniently out of the way of seats, back bands, etc. Our unique breathable polyester shell is made entirely from recycled water bottles and is Bluesign® certified. Polyester is naturally hydrophobic, ensuring that the material won’t absorb water over the course of the day. Additionally, it improves breathability, avoids condensation and helps decrease drying times.

Designed in-house by the best in the business in Hood River, Oregon.

• IR’s repair department processes hundreds of support tickets each year, with many tickets including multiple garments.

They will repair gear from other brands as well, which helps us all keep our kits in service and out of landfills for as long as possible.
