Golem Gear
Q-Vest, drysuit heater
and EQ-System, illumination and heating system
Golem Gear is proud to present a Q-Vest, drysuit heating system. Those doing long decompression hangs or diving in cold water will appreciate the influx of additional heat this system provides.
Q-Vest
The Q-vest is designed as a modular system consisting of a vest, bulkhead connector block and an external battery canister. This configuration allows diver to wear the vest under the drysuit without additional bulk and dangers associated with internal batteries.
The vest outer shell is made from abrasion and tear resistant cordura. Sewn-in are rubber coated heating element panels, 3 on the back and 2 on the front. The vest is designed to be worn over thin form fitting thermal wear and under the drysuit underwear. In this configuration the majority of the heat output is transferred directly on diver’s torso and the thick drysuit underwear keeps the heat in.		   Text Box:

Bulkhead Connector Block
The bulkhead connector block is a screw-in part that is inserted under the drysuit inflator valve. There is no need to cut another hole in the drysuit when installing the Q-Vest. The profile of the drysuit inflator is raised by 3/4“ to accommodate the wet socket of the connector.		   Text Box:

Battery Canister
The stainless Steel battery canister has rotary switch and charging port. It is designed to mount on diver’s waist belt on the left or right side with screw-in wet plug cable comfortably reaching the socket on the bulkhead connector block. The rotary switch on the battery canister allows diver to set three levels of heat output as well as to completely switch the heat off. The Q-Vest is powered by 12V 8Ah NiMH battery providing several hours of comfortable heat output. 		  Text Box:


EQ-System
The charging port in the battery canister has dual functionality, it can also serve as a power source for a selection of dedicated HID lights. Three light heads are currently available for use with the EQ-System, 10W HID, 15W LED, and 35/50W primary/video HID. All dedicated Q-Vest lights have an on/off switch on the light head which allows the light to be operated independently from the Q-Vest power output levels. Addition of primary light heads to the Q-Vest provides unique streamlined underwater illumination and heating system. During main part of the dive, the diver is usually active enough so the auxiliary heating is unnecessary, but the primary HID light is being used. During decompression the light is switched off and the Q-Vest is activated providing additional thermal comfort.
We believe that this new product will make your long deco hangs and cold water dives more comfortable, even downright toasty.
