Prolimit Predator Boot RT 5.5 mm FTM

Reinforced sole neoprene boots

Reinforced sole neoprene water boots Prolimit Predator 5.5 mm are the most advanced neoprene boots in the Prolimit range.

These reinforced sole neoprene boots are designed for watersports in the coldest conditions and are therefore built using the best materials and technologies in Prolimit’s lineup.

They feature a Velcro strap on the upper part for easier entry, as well as a reinforced, anatomically shaped sole that protects your feet from sharp objects.

The reinforced heel keeps the boot securely in place. With a neoprene thickness of 5.5 mm, they provide excellent protection against cold. The inside is additionally lined with soft and extremely warm Zodiac fabric.

Prolimit Predator RT reinforced sole neoprene boots have a round toe design, like classic boots, ensuring maximum comfort and warmth. If you prefer warm neoprene boots with a split toe, you can take a look at the O’Neill Mutant 6/5/4 boots instead.

Reinforced sole neoprene boots – advanced technology

Prolimit uses limestone neoprene, a modern material found in all of their wetsuits and neoprene accessories.

Unlike traditional neoprene, which uses petroleum-based butadiene as a binding agent, limestone neoprene uses a binder derived from limestone. This makes the material more environmentally friendly, while also being warmer and more durable than conventional neoprene.

Prolimit uses three versions of this material (300+, 500+ and 550+), which differ in stretch properties. This allows them to select the optimal material for each panel of neoprene footwear and clothing.

FTM (Fluid Taped Method) technology is Prolimit’s advanced seam-sealing method, taking seam construction one step further than traditional GBS seams.

FTM seams are triple-glued and additionally sealed with a strip of waterproof neoprene tape. They are extremely durable and watertight, preventing cold water from entering and helping to keep the water inside the boot warm.

Zodiac lining is a soft, fluffy, fleece-like inner lining used by Prolimit in their warmest neoprene products. It is exceptionally warm and comfortable, wicks water away from the skin, and creates small air pockets that the body can warm more efficiently than water.
