Early British military drysuit
The Sladen Suit was a heavy type of British divers' drysuit made by Siebe Gorman. It is entered by a wide rubber tube at the umbilicus: this tube is folded and tied off before the diver dives. It was used by British manned torpedo riders and for general underwater work.[citation needed]
It was sometimes nicknamed "Clammy Death".[citation needed]
The first model had two small glazed viewports. It was redesigned with the single oval flip-up viewport so the wearer could get binoculars to his eyes.[citation needed]
"Universal" rebreather
There was an oxygen rebreather called the "Universal" that was designed to be used with it. The Universal was a long-dive derivative of the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus.[citation needed]
In popular culture
- Brian Evenson's collection of literary horror, Windeye, includes a story entitled, and about, "The Sladen Suit."
