K01 Base Layer Diving Trousers

K01 Base Layer Diving Trousers

The Base Layer K01 trousers are designed for divers who want to keep their lower limbs warm without adding bulk under their gear: the legs are often the first areas to feel the cold due to a lack of movement.

A true second skin, capable of trapping body heat thanks to the heat-conducting properties of silver.

They are the ideal complement to the K01 technical diving base layer

, forming a complete protective set to slip directly under a drysuit.

Diveavenue expert’s review of the Base Layer K01 diving trousers

What I like best about the K01 trousers is that you eventually forget you’re wearing them. Under a drysuit, they allow the undersuit to slide without snagging, which prevents the trousers from riding up to your ankles. The benefits of the silver are obvious on repeated dives: the garment doesn’t develop that damp neoprene smell. It’s an essential investment for greater thermal comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can they be used for snorkelling ?  Yes: it is perfect for protecting against jellyfish, the sun or irritation from rocks, whilst remaining extremely lightweight and hydrodynamic.

Do the trousers ride up when putting on the wetsuit ? Thanks to their elasticity and snug fit at the ankles, they stay firmly in place. If necessary, you can easily tuck them under your socks to ensure a secure fit.

Does the silver lose its effectiveness after several washes ? No: the silver particles are bonded to the very structure of the yarn. They are not simply deposited on the surface, which ensures that the antibacterial properties remain active throughout the garment’s lifetime.
