The Fourth Element Ellipse Dry Glove System is a simple, reliable and ergonomic system designed to provide an easy solution for dry gloves.

This system was designed by Fourth Element and manufactured by Si-Tech so the quality and precision are guaranteed to be excellent. The Ellipse system is designed to work with the PU rings glued into Argonaut drysuits for silicone seals but can also be used to replace the QCS Oval system on the Argonaut or any other drysuit.

The ergonomic elliptical shape offers a slimmer profile whilst still allowing a larger hand to pass through. Aligning the glove and suit rings is made easier by an intuitive key system; the gloves are attached by pressing the rings together.

A robust nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal for the gloves which will stay secure throughout the dive. Removing the gloves is a simple process, using the heel of your hand to pop off one side of the glove ring to break the seal.

When not using dry gloves, the O-ring should be removed using the supplied O-ring tool and replaced with the silicone band to protect the O-ring groove.

The branded case can be used to keep dry gloves in after the rings have been fitted. Installation instructions are included in the packaging.

Available options are:

  • System - This is the complete Ellipse set, used to upgrade an existing suit that has QCS oval already fitted, enabling dry gloves to be used.
  • Suit Rings - Supplied without silicone seals, this option is used to convert an existing suit that has a QCS oval already fitted.
  • Dry Glove Attachment - These are the parts of the system required in order to add to a suit already fitted with Ellipse Suit Rings.
FEATURES:
  • Comfortable and easy to use
  • Developed for user-replaceable wrist seals
  • Ergonomic oval shape minimises bulk
  • Simple and reliable dry glove attachment
  • Retro-fits to replace QCS oval system
  • Available fitted to Argonaut drysuit or as a separate item

"Massive step up from the Antares system"
Fourth Element Ellipse Dry Glove System Ellipse Dry Glove System Unfitted
The Ellipse dry glove system from Fourth Element is a massive step up from the previous Antares system. Donning the dry gloves is much easier, and you do not need help to take the gloves off after a dive, and they come with a carrying box to protect the gloves. Assembly of the system is easy, especially of upgrading from the Antares system. There are still a few teething issues with how the product is sold by Fourth Element - you will need 2 sets of silicone rings if you are changing between diving with and without dry gloves frequently, and these are currently not available separately or as spares.
