4th Element Sub Xero Package

Description

Includes top, bottom, and bag

The SubXero has been developed for use underneath membrane and trilaminate drysuits and all independent testers have rated it as the warmest undersuit they have tried.

Windproof and waterproof, the suit consists of a jacket and salopette or ‘farmer john’ giving maximum protection to the body core. It will also continue to provide thermal protection if it becomes wet, either by a leak or more fundamental suit failure.

The outer material is a trilaminate material comprising a nylon/polyester outer and microfibre inner, bonded to a breathable, but waterproof membrane. The inner material is a 400g shearling fleece, which provides high performance thermal protection and wicks moisture away from the skin.

The SubXero has been designed with the dive and the surface interval in mind. Practical pockets double as vents during the dive to help prevent air being trapped in the suit, cuffs at the wrists and ankles are adjustable and a large vented patch on the arm has a wind proof backing to prevent windchill when not wearing a drysuit, but allowing air to escape from the auto dump when diving.

The SubXero is 100% machine washable, but should not be tumble dried. If the suit gets wet during diving without access to a washing machine, the suit can be dried by turning it inside out then rolling the garment from the bottom upwards to remove any excess water, then hanging it to dry. The collar can be turned down to avoid interfering with the neck seal of the drysuit, but in most cases this is not necessary, and the collar provides additional weather protection between dives when not wearing the drysuit.

The SubX undersuit jacket has been developed for use underneath membrane and trilaminate drysuits. The jacket has a large arm vent on the left arm to enable air to escape more easily through the shoulder dump valve. The undersuit’s inner lining is a 400g shearling fleece, which provides high performance thermal protection and wicks moisture away from the skin.
