Drysuit accessories

Our 3mm hoods have a simple minimalist design with a smooth Glideskin interior and are produced using stretch neoprene to ensure a comfortable fit. The short collar works for both dry and wet suits, and micro holes in hood vent air with minimal water ingress.

Maximise thermal protection and dexterity with outstanding flexibility in this 3mm glove. Reshaped for 2021, the fit is improved with enhanced stretch across the back of the hand, whilst ensuring minimum water ingress thanks to fused seams. The longer length cuff can be trimmed to the wearer’s preferred length thanks to reinforced bar tacks in the wrist seams, allowing optimal comfort and performance.

Our 5mm hoods have a simple minimalist design with a smooth Glideskin interior and are produced using stretch neoprene to ensure a comfortable fit. The short collar works for both dry and wet suits, and micro holes in hood vent air with minimal water ingress.

Combining 4mm Kevlar reinforced fabric across the palm, fingertips and thumb, with 5mm stretch neoprene across the back of the hands. This produces a remarkably comfortable glove, perfected over several months with feedback from our team divers. Glued and blindstitched seams minimise water ingress and the Hydrolock wrist seal has a smoothskin interior, designed to eliminate flush. The kevlar fabric gives extra protection for activities such as net removal to prevent abrasion to the neoprene.

The most popular glove in our range has outstanding fit and excellent flexibility, thanks to the use of minimal prints on the back of the hand and an articulated print on the palm. The Hydrolock wrist seal almost eliminates water ingress, and fused seams ensure that a cold water dive does not have to mean freezing cold hands.

Micro holes in the top vent air and glideskin face seal for minimal water ingree. Collar is designed to work iwth drysuits fitted with warmneck.

Our 3mm, 5mm and 7mm hoods have a simple minimalist design and are produced using stretch neoprene to ensure a comfortable fit. The short collar works for both dry and wet suits, and micro holes in hood vent air with minimal water ingress.

Our warmest wet-glove has been redesigned to enhance fit and increase dexterity. With three fingers of each hand in a single compartment, the hands remain wamer as a result, whilst the index finger and thumb are free for manual operations. The flexibility of the back of the glove is maximised, reducing fatigue during a dive and a combination of a Hydrolock wrist seal with glued, blindstitched and fused seams ensures minimal water ingress.

The Amphibian diving boots are designed for a diver who wants the ultimate in support and protection. A stable footbed and hardwearing moulded out-sole make this ideal for regular shore diving and negotiating entry to the water especially over slippery rocks. Can also be used as rock boots with the Hydra drysuit.

With the classic construction of two layers of high insulation, low bulk fabric, the Arctic hat is seriously warm. Warm enough for Doug Allan on the BBC's Operation Iceberg.

Every adventurer needs a canteen of water. The Gulper is more than just your everyday water bottle though. Stainless steel double wall vacuum insulation means that iced drinks stay cool for up to 24 hours and a hot drink will stay that way for up to 12 hours. Every time you refill this bottle instead of buying bottled water (look out for refill stations cropping up everywhere) you are helping to reduce the production of plastic waste which may end up in landfill or our oceans. The versatile lid means you can drink on the go thanks to the twist and sip valve and the wide aperture makes filling and cleaning quick, simple and spill-free.

Getting your gear right can make or break a dive! We’re here to explain baselayers, undersuits, and what to wear for certain dive conditions, along with some hints and tips along the way.

The Arctic's two layers of high insulation and low bulk fabric ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection.

Constructed with comfort and utility in mind, the minimalist design provides outstanding performance under closer-fitting neoprene drysuits. In a layering system, the Arctic is also suited for use underneath membrane and trilaminate suits.

Using a combination of fastwicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro-climate around the diver, keeping the body dry and warm. A high density inner fleece provides superior insulation, with maximum comfort and wicking, whilst the outer layer, which has a water-repellent finish, ensures a snug fit.

The Seeker mask was designed with two main objectives: maximise the diver’s field of vision to be as close as possible to the experience of not wearing a mask using a single lens and to fit everyone – well, nearly everyone. New facial geometry was combined with a soft silicone skirt to provide an outstanding and comfortable fit.

The low volume design allows easy equalisation and mask clearing as well as creating a visual experience which is wider and brighter than ever before – with a near natural field of vision.

Incorporating highly advanced thermal technology and one of the most insulating materials ever developed, the HALO A°R's performance exceeds expectations of any diving undersuit.

Using technology originally created for space exploration and cryogenics, the HALO A°R features the extreme insulation material A°RGON™ aerogel in a compression resistant matrix.

With phenomenal insulation properties, this material enables the HALO A°R to achieve extreme thermal protection from a thinner, less buoyant diving undersuit.

The Pelagic boot is a lightweight comfortable warm boot. The addition of the footbed provides a stable chassis and greater comfort when finning and climbing ladders. It also makes them ideal for occasional shore diving. The Pelagic’s out-sole gives great grip and comfort, whilst minimising weight. This makes it ideal for travelling and boat diving, but the addition of the ergonomic insole makes the Pelagic a versatile performer.

Created to use in conjunction with our RF series, these 3mm socks will keep the extremities warm whilst in the water so you can focus on reaching your limits.

The Rock Hopper shoes are lightweight yet pack a punch in comfort and versatility. Comfortable for clambering over rocks thanks to the natural rubber outsole and ergonomic footbed, the Rock Hoppers are equally suited to use with open heel fins thanks to heel reinforcement and durable lining over the bridge of the foot. The Smoothskin seal around the ankle minimises water movement and helps to keep the shoes in place whether walking, climbing or finning.

When a wetsuit is your choice of thermal protection but you need pockets, look no further. Using hardwearing Supratex (made with recycled polyester) to reinforce the seat and crotch, these shorts are designed to stand the test of the most adventurous diver.

Most attention has been given to the pockets – built to the same design as our Argonaut drysuit pockets, using Cordura® fabric for durability. The pockets feature a wetnotes sleeve and bungee loops with the addition of a mesh panel in the bottom to assist fast drainage.

Perfect for all surface water sports as well as warm water scuba, this is revolutionary thermal protection. Lightweight, neutrally buoyant, machine washable, breathable and hypo-allergenic, the Thermocline full suit combines our experience with high technology fabrics with our passion for life in, on and under the water, to produce a truly versatile lightweight wetsuit system.

Thermocline provides a solution for many people who suffer from neoprene allergies either by replacing the traditional wetsuit entirely or acting as a barrier, reducing contact between the skin and the wetsuit itself.*

The lightweight Thermocline hood is perfectly suited for diving in temperate to warm waters. It is remarkably comfortable and warm as well as being very easy to don and remove.

The convenience of the zip-thru jacket is that it is easy to don and quick to remove. The breathable fabric ensures that it is comfortable whilst preparing to dive and the design allows great freedom of movement along with the ability to unzip a little to keep cool before the dive. Pair this with the leggings to give full length neutrally buoyant thermal protection that dries quickly and is machine washable, meaning that it is always ready for next getting in the water.

Designed to be worn for diving in tropical temperatures, along with a long or short sleeved top. With a high waistband, the leggings will not ride down in use and will remain comfortable throughout the course of a dive. In combination with a Thermocline top, they make a great lightweight, breathable alternative to a neoprene wetsuit. For other watersports, the leggings are the perfect way to keep warm without resorting to a neoprene wetsuit.

Designed to be worn under a wetsuit or on their own in warmer waters, the Thermocline shorts help to increase thermal protection to the body core. Can also be worn with the short sleeved top to make a lightweight shortie wetsuit. The shorts are a smart alternative to board/swim shorts as the close fitting material won't ride up under a wetsuit. Worn under board shorts, the Thermocline shorts can provide that extra thermal protection allowing you to extend your season in the water with the freedom and comfort of shorts before moving to a full neoprene wetsuits. A high back means it won't ride down when paddling or swimming.

Designed to be worn under a wetsuit, this vest provides increased thermal protection of the body core by the equivalent of an extra 2mm of neoprene, whilst being neutrally buoyant and maintaining the freedom of movement of the arms. It will virtually eliminate the feeling of water coming in through the zip and will enhance thermal protection considerably. On its own, or worn with Thermocline shorts, the vest is perfect for core protection for summer paddling.

These are a fantastic alternative to neoprene socks. With flat lock stitching and fleece lined fabric, they are ideal under neoprene boots. Thermocline socks help to keep the feet warmer and assist with the donning of a wetsuit by providing a low friction contact between the feet and the inside of the wetsuit.

The ultimate baselayer for use under a drysuit. Made using Polartec® Powerstretch® originally developed for NASA, the Xerotherm traps a layer of air – a much better insulator than water next to the skin, keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable. The range is designed to be worn under another undersuit or on its own under a neoprene drysuit.

The knit of the Xerotherm fabric produces the fastest wicking effect of any of the products in the fourth element product range. Moisture is drawn out through the fabric along fine fibres and then spreads out over the outer surface. This maintains a thin layer of air next to the skin. This is so effective in the Xerotherm that some wearers report experiencing minor suit leaks during the dive without even noticing until after the dive.

The physiological response to cold stress is to reduce blood flow to the periphery and look after the body core, where it can often just be a matter of time before cold becomes the limiting factor in the safety and enjoyment of a dive. X-Core provides extreme thermal protection to the core, enabling longer, more comfortable dives.
