If you’re intending to spend time in any large natural body of water, you’ll want to take advantage of the safety and protection of a wetsuit. Not only does a wetsuit keep the body warm in chilly to potentially freezing waters, it offers increased underwater mobility and bolsters the body against underwater pressure. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Choosing a good wetsuit can <\/span>be a complicated process which hinges upon more factors than sizing and cost alone, but it’s an especially crucial one for those looking to do any <\/span>sort of diving, and remains an essential part of any diving hobbyist’s list of specialized gear. We <\/span>took a look at some popular brands and compared the pros and cons of their specs to shed <\/span>some light on which aspects to pay attention to when choosing the right wetsuit for you, <\/span>with a specific focus on the Hollis Neotek wetsuit. <\/span><\/div>\n

What Is The Hollis Neotek Wetsuit?<\/h2>\n
The Hollis Neotek wetsuit is a high end, well-constructed model that makes use of a plethora of smart design features which contribute to its overall usefulness and protective quality. Its design is versatile and functional as much as it is efficient and durable. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

Product Specs  <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
The Hollis Neotek wetsuit features an 8\/7\/6mm composite of compression-resistant and super-flexible neoprene. To keep warm in cold water, it’s designed with an interior liner which traps body heat. Internal dams are implemented at the neck, waist, and ankles to prevent leaks. All seams on the suit are double-glued with blind stitches and additionally sealed with a liquid seam. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not only is the physical construction of the suit top-notch among semidry wetsuits, <\/span>various elements are included to make gearing up for a dive even easier. <\/span>A hood is included as a standard, along with large thigh pockets on both sides for <\/span>the purpose of holding tech in place or storing accessories. A horizontal front zipper allows for easy on and <\/span>off, and <\/span>is enhanced by a G-Lock design for a <\/span>watertight barrier. The Hollis Neotek wetsuit is available in nine sizes, ranging from S to 3XL.<\/span><\/div>\n

Pricing  <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
The pricing of the wetsuits<\/a> on this list ranges from $200-$600, with price fluctuating mostly as a result of the quality of the workmanship involved. More effective and technically complex seams, specially designed features such as pockets or internal dams, as well as higher-grade materials tend to up the price, with more inexpensive models usually lacking in those areas. <\/div>\n
