The Ladies Proteus Semi Dry from Fourth Element is a 7mm thermoflex neoprene suit which ensures good movement and was developed with temperate waters in mind, from Mediterranean winters to Californian summers. The use of an additional short john underneath the 7mm provides 12mm of neoprene on the body core with the added benefit of excellent seals at wrist and ankles, making the combination suitable for diving in cold water conditions, down to 8 degrees C (47F). Glideskin wrist and ankle seals minimise ingress of water and the Hydrolock neck seal works in combination with the hood to ensure maximum thermal protection.

The Ladies Proteus Short John from Fourth Element is 5/4mm neoprene and is designed to be worn under a full suit but can be worn on its own and is ideal for pool or lightweight use. Zipless entry ensures greater comfort and makes putting the Proteus easier to put on. Finally the Hydrolock seams provide strength and next to skin comfort.

The Fourth Element Neoprene 5mm hood has a smooth Glideskin interior and is produced using stretch neoprene to provide a comfortable fit. The short collar suits both dry and wet suits, and micro holes in hood vent air with minimal water ingress.
