Fourth Element Hydra Drysuit

SPECIFICATIONS

  • MATERIAL: High Density Neoprene (HDN)
  • VALVES: Apollo Bio-Dry Valves
  • ZIP: Rear YKK AQUASEAL® dry plastic zipper

Here at Mike’s we are big fans of the Fourth Element Hydra Drysuit for its flexibility.  The 7mm high density neoprene (HND) has been compressed to 4mm, making this a close-fitting drysuit.  We think this is a great entry level suit because the air moving around within it is minimal, eliminating any potentially embarrassing buoyancy issues.

It is rare to find an off the peg drysuit that is so versatile in sizing.  Fourth Element have broken the mould however with their Hydra Drysuit. It comes in 5 sizes with the options of a short and tall fit and a choice of 3 boot sizes for each suit size.

As you would expect with any Fourth Element product it is made well with fused, blind-stitched and taped seams; Durawear print on key areas for added protection; Supratex linings which protect critical wear areas in both the crotch and underarms; Plasma seams on torso to protect seams from abrasion caused by equipment.

The Fourth Element Hydra is designed to be worn with a Fourth Element Undersuit.  If you purchase this suit from Mike’s Dive Store you can also buy a Xerotherm Plus under-suit set which includes the top, leggings, socks, vest and bag - all for the same price as a standard set of top and leggings!  The Hydra drysuit and this special offer is also available for women. Go on – treat yourself.

Scubapro Evertech Dry Breathable Drysuit

SPECIFICATIONS

  • MATERIAL: Breathable nylon/PU/nylon trilaminate
  • VALVES: Si-Tech Valves
  • ZIP: Diagonal front BDM metal dry zipper

The Scubapro Evertech Dry Breathable Drysuit is the next generation of the Evertech Lite.  It is a premium trilaminate drysuit designed for advanced divers and loaded with features. The nylon/PU/nylon trilaminate material is both breathable and fast drying.  Perspiration and evaporation can get out but as the weave is so tight, water droplets do not get in.

The Evertech Dry has the Si-Tech ring system on both the wrists and neck seals which enables you to change seals in the field. They can be worn with dry gloves.

The suit has a front entry telescopic torso, semi-rigid boots with a thinner sole for improved comfort, two cargo pockets and double stitched/waterproofed taped seams for maximum reliability. This is also a great drysuit for travel as it is incredibly lightweight, weighing about the same as a 3mm wetsuit. Available for men and women.

Waterproof D10 Pro ISS Drysuit

Waterproof are well known for testing their drysuits in some of the harshest environments.

It has excellent durability and insulation far superior to other Neoprene qualities.

As well as its warming properties the D10 Pro is extremely comfortable thanks to the anatomical fit of the pre-bent arms and legs, seam-free crotch, warm cuff and neck system and the anatomical Kevlar reinforced boot. It is like a hug in drysuit form!

Like the Scubapro Evertech, this drysuit also has Si-Tech ring systems with exchangeable silicone seals at the wrists and neck that you can change in a matter of minutes.  Mike’s Dive Store stock a range of replacement Waterproof wrist and neck seals.
