Fourth Element Women’s Xenos 5mm Wetsuit 

The Fourth Element Women’s Xenos 5mm wetsuit is a high-performance, anatomically tailored cold-water suit engineered for female divers who demand thermal protection, flexibility, and long-lasting durability.

Combining advanced neoprene construction with gender-specific patterning and thoughtful features, the Xenos 5mm provides reliable insulation for temperate to cold-water diving, technical applications, and extended surface intervals while maintaining mobility for swimming, finning, and underwater tasks.

Key Features

• 5mm premium neoprene: Optimal thickness for cold-to-temperate conditions, balancing warmth and freedom of movement for extended dives and repeated use.
• Female-specific fit: Anatomical paneling and patterning tailored to women’s proportions for a snug, comfortable fit that reduces water flushing and improves thermal efficiency.
• High-stretch neoprene panels: Strategically placed stretch zones across shoulders, arms, and torso enhance range of motion for finning, gear handling, and overhead tasks.
• Smoothskin sealing surfaces: Smoothskin neoprene at the neck, wrist, and ankles creates a better seal against water ingress and reduces chafing during extended wear.
• Reinforced knees and seat: Durable abrasion-resistant panels on high-wear areas increase longevity and protect against scrapes during shore entries and boat operations.
• Low-profile seams: Flatlock or glued-and-taped seam construction (model dependent) minimizes irritation while maintaining flexibility and durability under repeated flex.
• Integrated seals and cuffs: Optimized wrist and ankle cuffs work with gloves and booties to reduce flushing and improve insulation.
• Easy donning and doffing: Thoughtful cut lines and flexible panels help streamline suit entry and exit without sacrificing fit.
• Eco-conscious materials: Fourth Element’s commitment to sustainable sourcing and reduced environmental impact may be reflected in responsible neoprene selection and manufacturing practices.

Performance Benefits

• Superior Thermal Protection: The 5mm neoprene provides dependable insulation in chilly waters, keeping core temperature regulated during dives, surface swims, and while on safety stops.
• Improved Hydrodynamics: Sleek suit profile and contouring reduce drag underwater, enabling more efficient finning and conserving air for longer dives.
• Enhanced Comfort & Fit: Female-specific shaping and high-stretch panels reduce fatigue, prevent bunching, and maintain a close, ergonomic fit across varying dive positions.
• Durability for Regular Use: Reinforced wear zones and high-quality neoprene resist abrasion and tearing, delivering a wetsuit that stands up to frequent diving, travel, and training environments.
• Versatility: Suitable for recreational cold-water diving, technical diving with exposure layering, shore and boat entries, and extended training sessions where warmth and mobility are essential.

Use Cases

• Temperate & Cold-Water Scuba: Ideal for divers in 10–18°C (50–64°F) waters when paired with appropriate undergarments or hoods for added warmth.
• Technical & Trimix Diving: Works as a primary exposure layer within a system for staged dives, decompression stops, or when combined with drysuit protocols in mild conditions.
• Freediving & Snorkeling: Offers thermal protection for prolonged surface intervals and comfortable movement for dynamic water sports.
• Dive Travel & Instruction: Durable construction and user-friendly design suit rental fleets, dive schools, and frequent travelers seeking dependable performance.

Care & Maintenance

To extend suit life: rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each dive to remove salt, sand, and chlorine; hang inside out to dry in shade; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat; use neoprene-friendly detergents sparingly; store flat or hanging to prevent creasing; and inspect seals and seams regularly. Repair kits and professional servicing can restore minor cuts or seam failures.
