Why buy a Prolimit Shield 5/4 mm wetsuit?

The Shield wetsuits are designed to provide advanced protection during foiling, with strategic reinforcements to defend against impacts with the foil or windsurf mast. Made with FSC-certified Naturprene 2 and completely neoprene-free, they ensure elasticity and durability thanks to the Airflex 550+ outer lining.

With 5 mm of insulation on the body to retain heat and 4 mm on the arms and legs for maximum mobility, it offers enhanced comfort, also due to the Zodiac Jaquard quick-drying fleece lining that effectively absorbs water from the skin and quickly releases it. The seams are triple-glued and sealed with liquid rubber, ensuring waterproofing and durability.

The Shield wetsuit is essential gear for high-level foiling performance, featuring reinforced protection on the shoulders, armpits, knees, and shins.

PROTECTIONS:

Shoulders: The right shoulder is extra protected with Fluid neoprene on the outside and additional memory foam padding on the inside.

Armpits: The armpits, prone to wear, are protected with a special lining to provide protection against abrasion.
