Xerotherm
Arctic
EXTREME
PERFORMANCE
The
Xerotherm Arctic is one of the highest performance undersuits
in scuba diving. Constructed using a unique combination of low
volume, high insulation materials, the Xerotherm Arctic’s
two layer structure creates a microclimate next to the skin, maximizing
the retention of body warmth during a dive.
Using high density fleece, the Xerotherm Arctic holds air next
to the skin and wicks away moisture from suit leaks or
perspiration to maintain a dry zone next to the skin. The
outer layer is high stretch, abrasion resistant material,
which will not interfere with the operation of auto dump
valves, and will not cause air to be trapped.
The
Arctic will also continue to perform when wet. In situations
even when a drysuit has flooded, the Xerotherm Arctic
continues to provide thermal protection.
The
suit is designed to maximise fit and performance, giving snug
protection to the body, including the feet.
The
Xerotherm Arctic is fully machine washable
Suitable
for wearing underneath neoprene or membrane drysuits, the
Xerotherm Arctic, can be used in conjunction with the
Xerotherm base layer to provide extra protection for the most
extreme diving conditions.

The
Xerotherm
The
Xerotherm is the ultimate base layer system for dry suit
diving. Designed for versatility it can be used either on
its own underneath neoprene drysuits or under a Xerotherm
Arctic or other undersuit, with membrane and trilaminate
suits.
constructed from a specialised PolartecÆ fabric originally
developed for NASA, the unique knit and construction makes
Xerotherm the most effective next to the skin garment for
ensuring warmth and comfort in demanding environmental
conditions.
the Xerotherm is made from the fastest wicking fabric in
existence. Moisture is moved away from the skin by the
fibres of the material and is prevented from contacting the
skin. Air, which is a far superior insulator, is held at the
skin's surface. This dramatically reduces conductive heat
loss from the body.
Unique fabric structure and content provides an abrasion
resistant outer, which vastly prolongs the life of the
garments.
The Xerotherm gives unrivalled freedom of movement through
all-directional stretch, making the wearer more comfortable
and able to carry out their diving procedures without
restriction.
worn under membrane suits, as a base layer beneath existing
thermal protection, such as a Xerotherm Arctic, the
Xerotherm significantly improves a diver's warmth and
comfort.
Under neoprene drysuits the low volume, high thermal
performance of the Xerotherm provides outstanding protection
without loss of freedom of movement.

Drybase
System
ULTRA
FAST WICKING BASE LAYER
Many
divers wear cotton t-shirts or similar items underneath
their undersuits and this may actually leave them feeling
colder and less comfortable than diving without. Cotton
holds perspiration and moisture next to the skin where it
can feel clammy, cold and uncomfortable.
Drybase
is the new high wicking underwear system for drysuit diving
from Fourth Element. Using ultra fast wicking fabric, the
Drybase garments are the ideal alternative to cotton
underneath a thinsulate or other undersuit. The garments'
exceptional wicking performance means that the skin is kept
dry and the wearer is much more comfortable during and after
the dive, and is able to get the most out for the
performance of their undersuit.

The
Thermocline System
Imagine
diving with the need for little or no lead – there is less
strain on the lower back, kitting up takes less time and is
easier, fluctuations in the buoyancy of the suit with depth
are not a factor. The increased comfort and freedom of a
neutrally buoyant suit is clear.
The
Thermocline neutrally buoyant wetsuit system represents an
evolution in thermal protection, using state of the art
materials to maximise performance without compromising on
comfort. It is ideal for warm water temperatures of 25 degrees
C.
Combining
the Thermocline Explorer with either a short or Long sleeved
top provides double layer protection for the body core.

Thermocline
Core Systems
Protecting
the body core is essential to performance whilst diving.
The
range of Thermocline vests and shorts for both men and women
provide enhanced protection to the body core when worn under
a wetsuit, thus making a huge difference to the comfort and
warmth of the wearer.
The
neutral buoyancy of the garments means no extra lead is
required to compensate for additional thermal protection,
but the wearer is able to enjoy longer and more comfortable
dives.
The
skin finish in the Thermocline range has a smooth rubber
like appearance. Thermocline skin dries extremely quickly,
reducing wind chill and is particularly effective when worn
as an underlayer. The shell finish has a nylon layer on the
outside giving a more traditional neoprene look.
