Resistance
Jersey crotch-panel on the top and between the legs of the pants designed to prevent wear resulting from friction between the thighs while swimming

Hood with Anti-Squeeze System,
The Anti-Squeeze System mitigates the suction effect in the ears and simplifies pressure equalisation during dives.

Optimum smoothness
Smooth outer coating improves movement through the water for slicker, more efficient diving

Thermal protection
The Elite offers a high degree of thermal protection
Combines the qualities of an open cell interior with a smooth outer skin
Open cell interior procures maximum warmth
Smooth outer skin offers excellent protection from the wind and dries fast, especially useful on boats and at the end of the dive session

X-Ray Camo camouflage
Beuchat’s exclusive X-Ray Camo camouflage is based on the Beuchat Trigocamo photographic camouflage, specially redesigned for an ultra-smooth suit
Natural colours melt into the underwater background
X-Ray Camo camouflage is used on different parts of the Elite in order to break up the silhouette of the suit and make the diver even harder to detect. Camouflage is positioned primarily on forward-facing surfaces.

Reinforcements:
Protective Supratex 2 kneepads combining flexibility and resistance to abrasion
Top incorporates a reinforced stress pad on the bust specially designed to prevent turbulence and provide improved comfort and grip when loading long, powerful spearguns (to prevent the butt slipping).

Seals:
Thinner face seals (-1 mm) 4 mm on the 5 mm version and 6 mm on the 7 mm version.
360° single-piece face seal for improved comfort, seal and sustainability, with no seam at mouth level

Neoprene panels bonded edge-to-edge with external overlock.
Seals with high quality finishes, edged with smooth neoprene for better water tightness, improved appearance and more resilience during dressing and undressing
