The Fourth Element Proteus II 3mm Wetsuit is probably the only 3mm in the world to feature such advanced features, allowing it to perform more like other 5mm suits with greater flexibility, and less buoyancy. We recommend water temperatures of 23C (73F) and warmer, but we know of many divers who take it into much cooler waters. By combining the now famous Hydrolock inner neck seal and Glideskin wrist seals, water ingress is minimised. Seams are double glued, blind stitched and taped to provide outstanding thermal protection throughout the dive. Additional Hexcore linings on the body core provide enhanced thermal performance where it is most needed for prolonged water exposure. Fourth Element sizing:
From our experience we recommend erring on a larger size if your measurements fall between two sizes. Fourth Element sizing seems to be slightly smaller than standard UK sizes. ![]() |
