Overview
Not a true dry suit, this Hollis NeoTek is a semi-dry that blocks most flushing with dams at the neck, wrists and ankles. The ThermaSkin liner and compression-resistant neoprene add warmth, and the front zipper handles entry.
The reason to buy is a thick, hooded suit with sealed seams for cold water. Pockets on both thighs hold small accessories. The limitation is that it is a semi-dry, so some water enters, and one data field disagrees with the copy.
Who it's for
Divers who need the XX-Large cut and dive in cold seas will use the pockets and the hood. People who want a drysuit, a different size or lighter neoprene should shop other suits.
Pros and cons
- Hood attached as standard
- Liquid glued seams cover the suit
- Left and right thigh pockets
- Super-stretch neoprene mix
- Semi-dry, so some water enters
- Thickness field conflicts with copy
- Sleeveless field conflicts with copy
- Size chart not included
Performance notes
Seams are glued, blind stitched and taped so water does not wick through stitching. Internal dams reduce flushing, and compression-resistant neoprene holds insulation at depth. A tight fit controls how much water circulates inside.
