The DTEK neoprene crotch strap upgrade reinforces the inner crotch area of your drysuit, shielding both the suit membrane and the diver from friction caused by DPV straps or technical harnesses.
✓ 1 mm soft neoprene · Sewn + Aquasure-bonded · DTEK trilaminate and neoprene suits · Ref. 18969
Available exclusively when ordering a new DTEK drysuit — not sold as a standalone item.
Founded in 2012 and manufacturing in Verona, Italy, DTEK produces made-to-measure drysuits for technical and recreational diving. The neoprene crotch strap upgrade (ref. 18969) is a factory option sewn directly into the suit during production. It addresses a practical issue well-known among DPV divers and tech harness users: the crotch strap of a BC, back-plate harness or sidemount system creates persistent abrasion against the suit seam during every dive, progressively weakening the material and causing chafing for the diver.
Technical specifications
- Manufacturer reference: 18969
- Material: soft neoprene, 1 mm thickness
- Application method: machine-stitched and sealed with Aquasure adhesive
- Compatibility: all DTEK trilaminate drysuits (TEK, TEK KEVLAR, XPEDITION TEK, DISCOVERY) and neoprene drysuits (FLEXY, FLEXY KEVLAR)
- Order condition: available only when purchasing a new DTEK drysuit simultaneously — not sold separately
- Manufacturer: DTEK, Via Lussemburgo 9, Verona, Italy
Recommended uses
This upgrade is particularly suited to DPV divers whose crotch strap crosses the suit seam area, technical divers using sidemount or back-plate double-cylinder harnesses, wreck and cave explorers on extended dives where prolonged contact intensifies wear patterns, and cold-water recreational divers using a weight belt over a drysuit. The 1 mm neoprene layer is stitched flush against the inner face of the crotch area and sealed watertight with Aquasure glue. It adds negligible bulk, preserving full range of motion while forming an effective barrier between the strap and the suit material.
Key strengths
- Factory-integrated application: machine sewing combined with Aquasure sealing delivers bond strength that withstands repeated dive and decompression cycles
- Protects your suit investment: prevents progressive abrasion damage that can compromise drysuit integrity over time, avoiding costly repairs
- 1 mm neoprene spec: thin enough not to restrict movement at the suit's highest-flex zone, yet sufficient to absorb strap friction
- Dual protection: guards the suit membrane from abrasion while cushioning the diver's skin from strap pressure during extended bottom times
- Covers the full DTEK range: one upgrade option applicable across all trilaminate and neoprene DTEK drysuit models
