Hi All,
I just ripped my beloved henderson 5mm GC and now have an excuse to splurge on a new suit. I've been into the Waterproof suits w/ their bells & whistles since I saw them at dema in '06.
A Waterproof dealer I called up was really drumming up the new Fourth Element Proteus 5mm, saying it has the same sort of inside lining like the gold core. My favorite part of the GC was its quick drying and ability to wear all day while in and out of the water and stay warm (while others are shivering and peeling off their cold & wet suits) and the Proteus may do the same.
Does anyone have experience with either of these suits and know the pros & cons? Are there any other solid built suits I should look at?
Not too concerned with price - I abuse my suit and want something to last and be warm. My GC lasted 4 years but its construction is a little weak. I appreciate any suggestions. Cheers,
Chris
