The Fourth Element Thermocline Hooded Vest is perfect as an extra layerof core thermal protection under a wetsuit and the integrated hood helps to reduce water flushing into your suit via the neck.
Because its not made of neoprene, it is neutrally buoyant and machine washable and can be squeezed into your bag without fear of creasing and damaging the material. The latest Thermocline material now incorporates recyled nylon that primarily comes from ghost nets pulled out of the sea so it is even more environmentally friendly than neoprene.
The original neutrally buoyant wetsuit system, Thermocline is lightweight, machine washable and equivalent to a 2mm neoprene wetsuit, without the wetsuit, making in perfect for those allergic to neoprene.
