The design criteria were to make the Xenos as easy as possible to get on and off. This is achieved by cut away ankles (inspired by the fast transition features of triathlon suits) and smooth linings in the arms and legs.
This suit is perfect for days in and out of the water especially on liveaboards.
Comfortable stretch neoprene throughout ensures that the suit fits well, hugging the body and minimising water flushing through the suit. Double glued and blind-stitched seams combine with internal ankle seals and wrist seals to minimise water ingress.
Designed specifically with multiple dives per day usage such as live-aboard diving in mind. Donning the suit is easy thanks to low friction fast drying linings on arms and legs, but the thermal performance is surprising thanks to blind-stitched seams and Thermoflex linings on the body core. Layer with a Thermocline vest for a little extra protection on the last dive of the day!

Features
The 3mm suit 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. To get more out of any wetsuit in colder waters, combine it with a Thermocline vest and shorts underneath and use a hood (3mm or 5mm).
The Proteus II is arguably the highest performing wetsuit on the market. Available in 3mm and 5mm the Proteus II is often the benchmark to which other suits are compared in terms of warmth.
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.
