Hi all,

I recently discovered that I am sensitive to my neoprene wetsuit - especially around the stitches (where there is quite a lot of glue traces)

I use a Fourth Element Proteus 5mm wetsuit (not perfect for spearfishing, I know). My workaround is to put on a lycra jumpsuit although not great.

So my question is:
Is there wetsuits on the market without glue residue on the inside??
I saw a "Gul Viper" wetsuit with blindstitches and external liquid seams - that seems to answer my problem well.
Although I rather have a 2 piece wetsuit for spearfishing from sporasub, eliossub or the like.
Do they glue on the inside or can you choose external seams??

I hope you all can/will enlighten me with your individual knowledge on what to choose or do...

Thanks in advanced, Cheers!
