Neil Pryde Elite 2 5/4/3 E4

Premium Wetsuit – Ultimate Windsurfing

The best of the best. Nothing moves like it, nothing feels like it. The Elite2 is NeilPryde’s ultimate windsurfing wetsuit that continues to lead the market in technological innovation. The Elite2 provides the best insulation and stretch properties thanks to the subtle combination of top-end materials and specific integration of state of the art features.

Material

Neoprene made with a 3D matrix of air chambers that traps heat and increases buoyancy and flexibility. It consists of a sandwich construction with a middle layer of perforated neoprene to trap air. The air pockets insulate the body the way double-paned windows insulate a house. The end result is a warmer and lighter suit without adding thickness.

Limestone based neoprene from Yamamoto Corporation, Japan. The smooth closed cell neoprene has a unique hydrophobic coating that makes it 95% water impermeable compared to 70% of the normal petroleum based neoprene, therefore it sheds off more water and quicker. Also compared to the standard petroleum based neoprene, S5 has a 23% higher closed cell ration that keeps you warmer by providing the maximum wind chill protection.

Zirconium is made from hollow yarns that have zirconium carbide particles added to the core. It has the ability to absorb and convert sunlight into heat in addition to reflecting heat. It is one of the fastest drying, lightweight insulators today.

Bamboo Charcoal is known for its inherent antimicrobial and anti-odor properties. This natural fiber is woven into our lining to provide hygiene benefits

Features

E4 Entry - Our new entry system with integrated neck seal. The system incorporates a barrier gusset behind the zipper to prevent water entry together with a pull-over bib, roll-down neck seal and magnetic closure.

Glued And Blindstitched (GBL) Seam - An efficient, water-tight seam created through a triple gluing process in conjunction with a blind stitch that does not fully penetrate the rubber. The technique allows precise curved seams and facilitates a snug, anatomically correct fit.

Latex Embossed Knee Pads - Durable and flexible latex knee pads that shed water and prevent wind-chill.

Debossed Knee-Back - Prevents bunching and pinching behind the knee.

Anti-Choke V-Neck - V-cut neck panel designed for maximum comfort and flexibility.

SCS (smooth composite skin) - Super-soft 0.5 neoprene with a low friction, high contact coating. Provides the most comfortable and reliable neck and wrist seals.

Double Cuff Wrists - Double layer wrist seal system. Ideal with gloves for a water tight seal.

Reinforced Crotch - A durable layer of latex reinforcement that resists harness wear.

P-Skin - NeilPryde’s proprietary seam sealant made of polyurethane. Stretchier and thinner than any other seam sealant on the market.
