Breathable Kevlar or Flex drysuits

With its ergonomic design and telescopic torso providing a wide range of movement, the Fourth Element Argonaut drysuit is made for the harshest diving conditions to be found.

The Argonaut achieves European Standard EN 14225 – 2: 2005 for drysuits in accordance with E U Directive 89/686/EEC.

The Argonaut is available in men’s and women’s sizes and in a number of different fabric styles, including breathable Kevlar and public safety orange.

All drysuits can be customised to create a better fit and to include features that best suit individual purpose or requirements.

Diving undersuit with biomapped thermal protection

Unlike all other undersuits, the HALO 3D’s body-mapped insulation provides the wearer with a combination of optimal thermal protection and minimal buoyancy, whilst the wearer is in horizontal trim.

Designed to complement Fourth Element’s range of drysuits, the HALO 3D is manufactured for use underneath membrane and trilaminate suits, and when combined with Xerotherm, can protect the wearer against the harshest water conditions and temperatures.

Thermal undergarments for drysuits

Arctic XT500 : probably the world’s best-selling thermal undergarment for use under all types of drysuit is now available in both a two-piece set and one-piece suit.

Featuring the innovative two-layer technology pioneered by Fourth Element, the Arctic XT500 provides a simple solution to the challenges of thermal protection.

It is used by a number of ministries of defence (MODs) and services worldwide.

Nato stock numbers have been assigned to this range.

Thermal base layers for diving

Our high-performace thermal base layer, the XT250, has been adopted by many professionals working in cold conditions, both above and below the water.

The fabric technology developed for Nasa provides very fast wicking of perspiration and high thermal performance along with 4 directional stretch.
Current users include the Norwegian Navy, French Marines and the FBI.

Nato stock numbers are available for this range.

Proteus: neoprene semi drysuit

The Fourth Element Proteus semi-drysuit uses the best performing thermal protection, including thermocore neoprene, hydrolock neck seal, glideskin seals at the wrists and plasma seals at the ankles, to provide scuba divers with optimal warmth in their dives and a surprising level of comfort.

In fact, the Proteus’s ability to eliminate nearly all water ingress has earned it the warmest diving wetsuit rating in its class by Sport Diver Magazine, both in the UK and the US.

The Proteus is available in 3mm, 5mm and 7mm thickness varieties.

Neoprene hoods, boots and gloves

Fourth Element provides a full range of neoprene hoods, boots and gloves. All are manufactured to a high standard of quality, fit and performance.

Pelagic and amphibian boots are the only neoprene boots on the market that feature ergonomic foot bed insoles, vastly improving comfort and performance.
