Looking for a drysuit that can withstand the harshest dives, but the standard or Made-to-Fit versions of the Santi E.Lite Drysuit don’t meet your needs? Go Made-to-Measure with this high-performance suit, designed for technical, cave, and wreck diving. Its exceptional durability and reinforced protection in critical areas make it the ultimate choice for divers seeking reliability in extreme conditions.

Key Features of the Santi E.Lite Drysuit:

  • Ripstop Nylon Fabric: Exclusive to Santi, this advanced fabric is the secret to the E.Lite’s superior strength. Paired with an ergonomic Y-cut design and meticulous craftsmanship, the suit provides unbeatable durability and flexibility.
  • Protective Details: The drysuit features a long front-entry waterproof zipper, complemented by an extra zip-fastened flap for enhanced sealing. New Kevlar® knee pads offer additional protection for the front leg area, ensuring durability in high-impact zones.
  • Ample Storage: Two large, solid cargo pockets with bungee strings securely hold your accessories. Plus, there’s a handy additional zipper-fastened pocket for even more storage.
  • Premium Material: The E.Lite is made from a unique Ripstop Nylon/Butylene/Polyester material (535 g/m²), offering a balance of lightweight comfort and extreme durability, thanks to interwoven ripstop reinforcement threads that provide excellent resistance to tears.

Whether you’re a professional technical diver, cave diver, or simply someone looking for the best gear for your next underwater adventure, the Santi E.Lite Drysuit is designed to elevate your experience to the next level.

For added comfort, consider the Santi E.Lite+ Drysuit, which combines the durability of the E.Lite with a softer, more flexible material for the front, sides, and back of the legs, offering enhanced comfort while retaining the same rugged protection for critical areas.

The Santi E.Lite is your go-to drysuit for durability, mobility, and performance, no matter how tough the dive.

Santi Smart Seal System

Santi drysuits come as a standard with an innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings allow fast and easy seal exchange for any seal you like or have at hand without needing special tools.

Smart Seals ManualThe Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any type of wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning you can carry spares and change a torn seal in the field.

The Smart Seals System also gives the possibility of adding dry gloves using Santi Smart Gloves Ring System (purchase separately).

Santi Neoprene Hood

Each Santi suit comes with a high-quality Neoprene Hood, designed with an innovative cut for maximum flexibility. The outer shell is jersey-covered, while the inner coating features a “smooth skin” finish, enhancing comfort and insulation. Available in 6mm and 8mm thicknesses, these hoods mold perfectly to the shape of your head and are easy to put on or remove, even when wet.

Which Santi Drysuit is Right for You?

Choosing the best Santi drysuit can be tricky, as each suit has unique features suited to different diving needs. To help you make the right decision, we’ve prepared the SANTI DRYSUITS COMPARED 2023 guide. We hope it assists you, but feel free to CONTACT us if you have any questions or need personalized advice.

How Long Does It Take to Receive My Suit?

Once you’re satisfied with your drysuit details, we’ll place your order with Santi as soon as possible to avoid any delays.

As each Santi drysuit is custom-made, production times may vary slightly, especially during busy periods or holidays. On average:

  • Standard-Size Suits (with or without modifications) typically take 7 to 9 weeks to produce.
  • Made-to-Measure Suits generally take an additional couple of weeks.

After production, suits are thoroughly checked, shipped from Poland, and go through customs clearance, which usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.

Due to fluctuations in demand, we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates, but we will keep you informed throughout the process. Once your suit arrives, we will check it and notify you to ensure you’re available for delivery.

Measuring Guide

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF FOR SANTI SUITS

Carefully watch SANTI’s “Instructions for Self-measuring” video below. The video shows all measurements for Made-to-Measure suits.

STEP-BY-STEP

Download the Santi MADE TO MEASURE FORM. Use only a taylor’s tape measure that has a centimeter scale (only use metric with cm).

Never take your own measurements yourself! Measurements should be taken by another person to make sure all measurements are taken tight up to the body and at correct placement for a specific measurement.

It is important that you stand straight, look forward and do not bend over while you are being measured. It is equally important to take the measurements only while wearing thin clothing, close to the body. Don’t leave any additional measurement allowance.

HEAD – approximately 1cm above the eyebrows to choose the correct hood size.
NECK – above the t-shirt line, under the Adam’s apple and the end of the neck.
BODY TRUNK – hold one end of the tape on the central point of the neck end and lead the tape across the crotch to the back. Mark the place where tape ends and measure the rest of the line to the spine neck bone. Make sure the tape is close to the body including all the curves.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER – back shoulders length from one top arm bone to another.
OUTER ARM LENGHT – from the back neck spine bone to the wrist while the arm is fully stretched.
INSIDE ARM LENGHT – from armpit to wrist.
LADIES ONLY / SIDE TRUNK LENGHT – from the armpit to the waist line.
BICEPS – widest point on the loose arm. If you have a visibly athletic figure it is advised to measure the biceps also with bent elbow.
FOREARM – in the widest point.
WRIST – between the palm and the wrist bone.
CHEST – first measure the chest in rest and then after breathing in air. Normally the difference should be around 3-5cm. For ladies measure in the fullest point of the bust, preferably while wearing a bra.
WAIST – measure on the belly button level. Remember to measure the waist line in the widest point on the belly button line. To measure a female waistline correctly, use any kind of “marker belt” and fasten it around the waist line.
LADIES ONLY / BACK HEIGHT – centrally from the neck spine bone to the waist line marked with the belt.
LADIES ONLY / CHEST HEIGHT – from the soft neck area (where the neck ends) to the bust line in the fullest point.
HIPS – in the fullest point of the buttocks.
THIGH – widest point approximately 5cm from the crotch area.
CROTCH TO KNEE – from crotch to knee.
CROTCH TO FLOOR – hold one end of the measurement tape in a convenient place in the crotch and measure to the heel end.
CALF 1 – measure the calf in the widest point.
CALF 2 – height from the widest point of the calf to the floor.
CALF 3 – measure the calf 20cm from the floor.
ANKLE – measure the ankle on the ankle bone.
FOOT – place the tape on the floor and step on it to measure from end of heal to end of toes.
