Why
We’ve been manufacturing made-to-measure drysuits for over 45 years. Drysuits that last the distance. Long after others have perished and split.


One Size Does Not Fit All
Well, that one size is your size, and that’s a Made-to-Measure (M2M) size. Whilst at Hammond we make ‘standard’ size drysuits, the majority of our customers select the M2M option.
M2M drysuits take into account your specific body shape and size. To make your drysuit for the perfect fit we use a number of your body measurements.
Hammond Drysuit require the wearer’s full height, shoulder height, neck, and wrist measurements, including wrist to wrist across the shoulder blades. Chest, waist, and hips sizes are also considered, along with the widest part of the thigh, knee, calf, inside leg and shoe size. This makes a suit designed for both comfort and longevity. It can even be further personalised with the choice of colours, seals, gloves, and footwear. We also factor in it’s use and the amount and type of moves you are likely to do.

Does my drysuit need wet pressure testing?
-
As most suits do not need a wet pressure test, we do not test unless you advise us to do so. As there is a charge for testing any drysuit, it is not automatically performed. All our repair work is guaranteed for 6 months from date of invoice. If you are unsure if you need a test please contact us and we can advise.
-
How good are the repairs?
-
We have 40 years of experience repairing drysuits and have accumulated a great deal of knowledge over this time. We strive to have your repair look as good as new or as close to as feasibly possible. This includes removing all old components completely and not just bonding the replacement over the old. If the suit has been repaired previously by someone else and old components are found under the existing, we will also remove these.
-
Can you extend or adapt a Hammond drysuit if my size has changed?
-
Yes. Just send us your drysuit with your new measurements and we’ll adjust it accordingly. Whether that’s cutting and adding panels, installing zips in new positions or overlaying adhesive strips we’ll sort it.

What’s Made-to-Measure?
-
A drysuit made just for you. And only you! Made to withstand the daily grind of underwater work.
We can build in added panels around the back if you’re a sailor in need of extra reach to pull in the mainsheet. Or panels under the arms, knee and elbows for Fire & Rescue safety crew needing added manoeuvrability to navigate awkward spaces. Or diving drysuits with zips front or rear for quick and easy donning.
