Protheus Fourth Element

Proteus Features
Hydrolock seams
With over 8 months of prototyping, this features a unique combination of glideskin, smoothskin and standard neoprene. The double seal virtually eliminates water ingress into the suit. An internal back panel prevents water entering through the zip from reaching the back. The neck collar is lined with glideskin neoprene and fits snugly around the neck giving a smooth, complete seal.
The hydrolock inner neck seal is designed to fit snugly on the neck without being too tight. It can be relaxed a little by stretching it over a pudding bowl or diving cylinder overnight.

Durawear Patches
Applied to the critical areas of the proteus to minimise the abrasion for other equipment at the shoulders and around the waist. The stippled pattern on the chest of the suit maximises flexibility and thermal protection and helps to speed up drying time.
Glideskin
Smooth Glideskin at wrists and ankles provide a highly effective barrier to water ingress and eliminate water flush through. In donning the suit - to avoid damaging the material, turn the seals up before putting the suit on and and roll them down once the suit is on.
Optional in 3,5 or 7mm
