Before starting Tilos in 1991, Michael and Anne Lai went on their diving trip to Yilan, a secluded place on the Eastern Coast of Taiwan. It was a life-altering trip because they decided to engage in the outdoor sports business and build quality gear for the diving community. When they returned to the US, they dedicated time to learning neoprene craftsmanship and launched a wheel bag for divers. This product immediately put them on the map. Divers seeking a comfortable and waterproof transportation solution liked the idea of adding ball-bearing wheels and an extendable handle. Observing the howling success of the Tilos Wheel Bag, many companies tried to copy it.
However, Tilos wasn’t satisfied with lying on its oars. In 2009, it launched the industry’s first compactable wheel bag, and then, five years later, it introduced an improved version of this bag, Tilos Total Eclipse Wheel Bag, weighing mere 5 pounds.
By now, Tilos has diversified into several products, manufacturing diving clothing (Tilos women’s and men’s wetsuits, hoods, vests, element guard, gloves, and boots), gear (masks, snorkels, and fins), and accessories.
Tilos Scuba Diving Gear
The company manufactures one of the most feature-rich wetsuits in the industry. As such, the Tilos Silver Armor features UV protective and stretchy fabric, YKK zipper, back pocket, ring seas on wrists and ankles to prevent water coming in, and pre-bent knee pads for extra protection and a wider range of movement.
Tilos masks for scuba diving also boast features rarely seen in diving masks from other brands. The company is particularly proud of its panoramic single-lens masks with an increased vertical and down view, ANSI-compatible tempered glass, and cristal silicone skirt that deflects exhaust bubbles.
You should also consider Tilos gloves, socks, boots, and hoods featuring effective sealing mechanisms, YKK zippers, and durable materials.
