Overview
A diver pulling this Hollis suit on from the front uses a horizontal zipper and a neckdam to close the barrier. Internal dams at the arms and legs seal against leaks, and a ThermaSkin liner lines the inside.
The reason to buy is warmth in cold conditions, with thick neoprene, a hood and sealing designed for harsh water. Thigh pockets hold accessories. The limitation is fit, since this is an XL short and the sleeveless entry conflicts with the description.
Who it's for
Divers in cold seas will use the thickness, hood and pockets. Warm-water divers, people outside the XL short fit and anyone who wants a fully dry suit should choose another product.
Pros and cons
- Thick neoprene for cold water
- Front neckdam and G-lock zipper
- Internal dams seal arms and legs
- Thigh pockets for accessories
- Semi-dry, not fully dry
- Short fit only in this listing
- Sleeveless entry conflicts with copy
- Sizing chart not included
Performance notes
A semi-dry suit limits flushing with seals and a neckdam, so only a thin layer of water enters and warms. Compression-resistant neoprene holds its insulation at depth. Fit decides leak control: a loose suit flushes more water.
