Product details
Proven Reliability: The SuperLite 17B has established the working standard for the commercial diving industry worldwide, with thousands of underwater hours proving its rugged dependability.
Dual-Piece Locking System: Features a secure system consisting of a neck dam-yoke and the helmet; a pull pin neck clamp seals the dam and secures the yoke, preventing accidental removal.
Enhanced Retention: Comes standard with the SL-17A/B Helmet Retainer (chin strap) and Yoke Retainer, making it virtually impossible for the helmet to come loose during operation.
Quad-Valve™ Exhaust: Equipped with an exhaust system offering exceptionally low exhalation resistance, significantly improving diver comfort.
Over-the-Shoulder Configuration: The standard "B" configuration side block receives the umbilical over the shoulder, optimizing the setup for working in face-down positions.
Composite Shell: Constructed from hand-laid glass fiber reinforced polyester with carbon fiber reinforcement, ensuring the helmet is light, impact-resistant, and electrically non-conductive.
