How Do You Don A 4th Element Proteus?

[Rusty Roo]

when it comes to online shopping, buy both, try both on, send one back.

obviously it's ideal to try them on in the shop but in your case it's not possible.

could you ask the shop to order both sizes in? sure they will sell both.

Also, I will be wearing a thermolution shirt under this, if that makes a difference.

What temperature waters are you diving in? You shouldn't need anything underneath in 18°c and above.

Call me a Florida wimp!

Seriously, I often do multiple boat dives a day (3 or more) or, sometimes, very long bottom time shallow dives (up to 3 hours). I also do dive vacations with multiple dives over multiple days. After a while, I just get cold, even with water temps in the high 70sF. I just got the thermalution, going to dive it tomorrow for the first time, but my friends who have them swear by them. So, I want to size for it.

In that case, yeah definitely wear it underneath!

I'm not sure of the sizing, I'd say you're best to try it on.

Also as per what I said earlier in the thread, after 40-50 dives the suit becomes much easier to don. Just make sure you're pulling your neck seal as tight as you can.
