SiTech, who manufacture all the low pressure inflation hoses uses on Mobby’s Mares drysuits have announced a product recall for removal of a plastic flow restricting insert.
The affected low pressure hoses contain a flow restricting insert, coloured either black, blue or green, which can become dislodged, causing an obstruction of the air flow.
Both Mares and‚ SiTech‚ are recommending that you do not dive with a hose subject to this recall, or with a drysuit or other equipment that has been connected to such a hose.
The following Mares products, sold from 2006 thru to 2009 are included in the recall: Polarfit, Dryfit and Icefit Drysuits.
Low pressure hoses for the above Mares products should be returned to an authorised Mares Distributor to get the insert removed at no charge. Any non Mares‚ SiTech‚ products should be returned to an approved‚ SiTech‚ distributor.
