FOURTH ELEMENT

Bucket hats are perfect for life outdoors, keeping the head, neck and face protected from the sun and shielding you from downpours. Lightweight and quick drying with a silicon and faux suede branded badge, this soft hat is made from recycled plastic bottles, reducing the amount of plastic entering our oceans.

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.
