Fourth Element Thermocline Women's One Piece Front Zip /2022

The Fourth Element Thermocline is now available as in a ladies specific fit one-piece front zip garment which makes it easier to get yourself in and out of the suit. If you regularly dive in the tropics then this is a great full-length suit with the equivalent thermal protection of 2mm neoprene but without the buoyancy.

The Thermocline fabric is an extremely comfortable and lightweight alternative to neoprene which is what most wetsuits are made from. It is lightweight, doesn't crush when folded, dries quickly, and is machine washable. Simply put, it is the perfect tropical diving suit. On top of that, the suit is neutrally buoyant, allowing less lead to be worn.

It is also much more eco-friendly than neoprene. Utilizing a unique fabric made using ECONYL 100% recycled nylon from ghost fishing nets and other discarded waste, laminated with a waterproof membrane and thermal fleece, Thermocline revolutionizes the notion that being environmentally responsible means sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
