Ideal for use in warmer waters, this lightweight neoprene 3mm or 5mm diving wetsuit offers surprising thermal protection and comfort.

Rated as the warmest diving wetsuit in its class by Sport Diver Magazine, the Proteus 3mm and 5mm suit eliminates almost all water ingress allowing excellent ease of movement.

 

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.

Thermoflex Construction

Using stretch neoprene in panels where maximum flexibility is needed (arms, underarms etc) and more compression resistant materials on the body core, where consistent protection at depth is required, the proteus suits are able to offer both warmth and comfort.

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.

The Proteus 3mm, first let me say Forth Element is designing and constructing some amazing products. Now the suit, well, this wetsuit is no exception, durable, comfortable, flexible, warm, but most importantly perfect for me. I like to control my temperature, not into Jellyfish stings, and get hot fast so I chill fast also. I let some water in the neck, or flood the suit, and within seconds everything temperature balanced. This wetsuit was the most intelligent purchase I could of ever made, and I am very pleased with Forth Element. DRIS has always been there when I have had questions, and they always have of find the answer. These are wonderful people to do business with and I am truly thankful for them.

I bought the 5mm suit and it's warmer thatn many 7mm suits I have worn. The inner neck seal snug cut and the well constructed seams are the clearly working. Be careful with sizing - this suit fits snugly, but I had to go up a size from my usual Scubapro sizing to a L in the 4th element. I found by using the lube that I normally reserve for my drysuit wrist and neck seals, this suit goes on much easier. It's definitely not the easiest suit to enter, but it's the warmest suit for it's thickness I have used. The DRIS guarantee was great when I found the ML I ordered was just too tight in the chest for comfort; they exchanged it without hassle for a L.

Great wetsuit. Great fit and quality. I like the product so much that I purchased two wetsuits in 3mm and 5mm. The quality and performance of Fourth Element products is great.
