Fourth Element in South Africa
Most of the Fourth Element range in the shop is exposure protection, from base layers out to the drysuit. Nearly every line carries the Special Order badge: it can be bought online and is ordered in after purchase rather than taken off a shelf. Sizes run wide, with Short and Tall fits in the wetsuits, so the right size is worth confirming before the order goes in.
Undersuits and drysuits
The Halo AR was the first undersuit in diving to use aerogel, held in a compression-resistant matrix so the loft survives depth. The Arctic and Arctic X undersuits and Xerotherm tops sit alongside it, with Ellipse and PSI dry glove systems for the hands. The Argonaut 3.0 drysuit is made to measure: the shop measures you on a Bio Mapping Plate and photographs the session, and the quote follows. Browse undergarments and thermals.
Wetsuits, layers and freediving
Xenos ARC wetsuits use neoprene made with recycled and plant-derived content, in 3, 5 and 7 mm, and the Proteus II comes in 3 and 5 mm. Thermocline and Hydroskin tops and leggings, the RF freediving suits, and Seeker, Navigator and Scout masks complete the range. Browse wetsuits and dive wear and rash vests.
