Hollis Wetsuits — The Neotek Semi-Dry Line
Hollis approaches wetsuits the same way it approaches the rest of its lineup: built for divers who put real demands on their gear. The Neotek line is Hollis's answer to a problem most wetsuits don't solve well — closing off the wrist, ankle, and neck openings tightly enough to meaningfully reduce water flushing, without the cost and complexity of moving to a full drysuit.
At DiveCatalog.com, we carry the current Hollis Neotek wetsuit lineup: the 4/3 unisex configuration and the V2 semi-dry. DiveCatalog.com is an authorized Hollis dealer.
The Hollis Wetsuit Range
Neotek 4/3 Unisex
The Neotek 4/3 is Hollis's standard wetsuit configuration — 4mm torso and 3mm limbs, a common construction approach that puts more insulation where core warmth matters most while keeping the arms and legs flexible for swimming and finning. Unisex sizing covers a broad range of body types in a single product line.
Neotek V2 Semi-Dry
The Neotek V2 steps up from a standard wetsuit into genuine semi-dry territory — enhanced seal construction at the wrist, ankle, and neck openings significantly reduces the continuous water exchange that happens with a conventional wetsuit fit. The practical result: noticeably better thermal performance at the same thickness, without drysuit-level cost, training requirements, or buoyancy management. Unisex sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hollis Wetsuits
What does "4/3" mean on the Neotek wetsuit?
It refers to neoprene thickness in millimeters — 4mm through the torso for core insulation, 3mm through the arms and legs for greater flexibility. This is a common and proven approach to balancing warmth and mobility in a single-thickness-rated suit.
What makes the V2 "semi-dry"?
Enhanced seal construction at the wrist, ankle, and neck openings significantly reduces ongoing water flushing compared to a standard wetsuit fit, meaningfully improving thermal performance without the cost and complexity of a true drysuit.
Is the V2 as warm as a drysuit?
No — it's a noticeable step up from a standard wetsuit, but it doesn't keep you fully dry the way a true drysuit does. For genuinely cold water diving, Hollis's DX-300X full drysuit is the more capable option.
