The Sladen Suit was a heavy type of British divers' drysuit made by Siebe Gorman.[1] It is entered by a wide rubber tube at the waist: 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".[2]
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]
