How we calculate scores →About this gear
The D1X Hybrid combines a Polytech 500 trilaminate shell with a detachable internal 3D mesh lining. That lining is the defining difference from a conventional unlined shell suit. The D1X also has replaceable silicone seals, a covered metal zipper, expandable pockets and reinforcement at the knees and crotch.
Consider before buying
The mesh takes up space inside the suit, so assess layering and mobility as a complete system. A first-dive account on Mind The Box reported comfort but also a substantial weighting change from a wetsuit; that individual result is not a ballast prescription. The older D1 and the D1X must remain separate when judging reviews.
Our take
Consider the D1X if you specifically want an integrated mesh lining and are prepared to fit the rest of your insulation around it. Compare an unlined D3 Ergo if adjustable layering and a lighter suit are more important. The early owner report adds limited context, not proof of long-term durability or a verified numeric rating.
