Merino - Pinnacle Aquatics

 Furthermore, Merino™ lined wetsuits are not as affected by depth as most wetsuits.
. . .
However, PINNACLE’s best suits work on an entirely different concept.
. . .
Discerning divers who want the most innovative and most durable products seek out PINNACLE, and those who will settle only for the best of the best choose PINNACLE’s Merino™ lined products.
. . .
This creates temperature equilibrium, making the diver somewhat colder and the water slightly warmer.  After the water sloshes around the interior of the suit, it then spills out into the environment, only to be replaced by more cold water from the outside environment, and the process begins again.
. . .
As the suit compresses, the insulation value of the rubber decreases, and water inside the suit is squeezed out into the environment.
. . .
Though our suits also compress as a diver descends, the water that is absorbed into the Merino™ lining is unaffected by the pressure exerted by the water outside the suit.
