FOURTH ELEMENT XEROTHERM LEGGINS
These simple, minimalist leggings were designed for maximum performance. The high waistband ensures a good overlap of the top and leggings and the unique liner design ensures that the leggings do not lift. The flat seams offer comfort in contact with the skin during the dive.
The ultimate base layer for use under a drysuit.
Made using Polartec® Powerstretch® originally developed for NASA, the Xerotherm traps a layer of air - a much better insulation than water close to the skin, keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable.
The range is designed to be worn under another wetsuit or alone under a neoprene drysuit.
The knit of the Xerotherm fabric produces the fastest wicking effect of all the products in the Fourth Element product range.
Moisture is dragged through the fabric along the fine fibers and then spreads to the outer surface.
This keeps a thin layer of air close to the skin.
This is so effective in the Xerotherm that some wearers report experiencing small leaks from their wetsuit while diving without even noticing until after the dive.
"Performance is superb" .
This was the reaction of Doug Allan, world-renowned and award-winning underwater director and author, after testing Xerotherm in -2 degrees (29F) water inside the Arctic Circle on Svalbard, while shooting sequences for the BBC production The Blue Planet.
The Xerotherm is specified by the FBI Dive Teams, the Norwegian Navy and the British Police Dive Units.
