FOURTH ELEMEN PROTEUS II T Men's Neoprene Wetsuit

FOURTH ELEMEN PROTEUS II T Men's Neoprene Wetsuit

The Proteus II neoprene suit from Fourth Element is designed for divers who want the comfort of a wetsuit with insulation similar to a semi-dry suit.

This suit features a Hydrolock double seal system at the neck and Glideskin cuffs, which effectively limit water ingress and improve thermal insulation. The seams are double glued and stitched, ensuring excellent thermal protection.

The Hexcore lining on the torso enhances thermal performance in the areas most sensitive to the cold, while the Thermoflex lining on the rest of the suit ensures comfort and flexibility.

The Fourth Element Proteus II also features ultra-stretch knee pads that provide effective protection without compromising freedom of movement. Internal polyurethane (PU) ankle seals complete the watertightness by limiting water ingress.

Finally, its back zip with pull strap makes it easy to put on and take off the suit, making dressing easier!

The cut is designed to fit the body without creating unnecessary air pockets.

🤿 Diveavenue's expert opinion on the PROTEUS II FOURTH ELEMENT neoprene diving suit

The Proteus II is undoubtedly one of the warmest neoprene suits on the market. What I like about it is that you hardly feel any water getting in, even when jumping straight down. The neck seal is particularly well designed: it doesn't compress the throat but blocks any passage. It's the ideal choice for divers travelling to the Mediterranean or Atlantic from late spring onwards.

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How do I choose the right size for maximum watertightness ? The Proteus II should fit very close to the body. If it is too loose, the Hydrolock systems will not be able to block the water. Accurate measurements of the torso and waist are necessary.

Is the suit difficult to put on because of the sleeves ? The neoprene is very flexible, which makes it easy to put on over the hands and feet. Using a little water or a suitable lubricant on the Glideskin seals makes it easy to put on.

Can a mouse be added under the Proteus II ? Yes, its flexibility allows you to wear a thin neoprene top or a technical base layer without interfering with the back zip.
