Prolimit Flare Free-X 6/4

At A Glace After what seemed like a mild autumn here in the UK, we suddenly had some proper wintery weather and a sprinkle of snow. This seemed the perfect time to test the new Prolimit Flare Steamer suit! However, I have never used a 6/4 before and frankly expected something super thick and cumbersome. However, the Flare wetsuit is...

Prolimit Mercury Steamer Hooded Thermal Rebound FTM

The Mercury is the top-of-the-range winter wetsuit from Prolimit. The torso of the suit features 6mm neoprene with the Zodiac2 lining, with 4mm in the legs and arms. In addition, there is the Thermal Rebound technology which is an additional layer just under the inner jersey which acts like a space blanket from NASA, reflecting body heat back and stopping...

Prolimit Vapor Thermal Rebound Freex FTM Ltd

Prolimit has been making wetsuits for a long time, and they have a rich history in windsurfing and kitesurfing. Their Vapor Free Zip wetsuit for men is regarded as the best technical wetsuit on the market. They have incorporated Thermal Rebound technology into this suit, which includes an additional layer between the neoprene and Zodiac that reflects body heat and...

PROLIMIT has continued to expand their harness range, adding some premium new products and highly requested hardshells to the lineup! For a company that has been in the industry since the very start, we have been waiting to see them drop a hardshell for quite some time, and to see what their take on the hardshell looked like! The team...

The Vapor waist harness sits just beneath PROLIMIT's top-of-the-range hardshell harness, 'The Alpha'. Equipped with the very best science, design and materials, this pre-shaped moulded hardshell harness offers endless support, comfort and stability whilst not being quite as stiff as the full carbon Alpha. The Vapor is made out of a Pure TM composite shell with Flex-Gen memory foam equipped...

Prolimit Fire-X FreeZip

As someone who is in the water all year round an awful lot, I have in recent years begun to favour top-end suits as these can be easily justified. Not only that, 5 years ago a mid-range suit would leave little to write home about other than a potential good look and, if you were lucky, a lone patch of...

Prolimit Vapor Free-X Powerseam

Growing up I never had particularly technical wetsuits, and I never really felt the cold (oh the bliss of youth!), yet in recent years things have changed. We want to get out and make the most of the conditions regardless of the temperatures, and with technology advancing (at fairly reasonable prices) it has now become a no-brainer to kit yourself...

The VEX is a low-profile 3D molded waist harness. It is pre-curved and has an internal load frame. It comes with multiple leash attachment points, uses four straps for tightening and comes with the Fat Bar (a wide bar mounted on a super wide pad).

Kitesurfing Reviews - Prolimit Mercury Freezip Steamer FTM 3/2mm 2018
Prolimit Mercury Freezip Steamer FTM

We’ve long been a fan of the Prolimit range of suits, think high-quality materials that are well put together, but more importantly can last a few seasons. The Mercury Freezip Steamer 3/2mm FTM is certainly a mouthful, but it’s their top of the line suit. Available in a range of thicknesses this is the thinnest one for those summer days...

Prolimit Vapor

The Vapor is a semi-rigid harness from Prolimit, it uses an internal load plate, which is very stiff vertically but has quite a bit of flex horizontally. The harness can be used with either their Universal Rope Bar or the Fat Bar traditional hook set up. It’s always great to see choices like this with a harness of this standard....

The Predator harness from Prolimit has been in their line up for a few years now, the design is tried and tested, but it features some great technical features too, as well as boasting great looks! The Predator is pre-curved and 3D shaped for a great fit and features a four point connected neoprene belt to keep the harness in...
