Fourth Element Xerotherm Women's Leggings - Thermal Drysuit Leggings

Fourth Element Xerotherm Women's Leggings - Thermal Drysuit Leggings

Fourth Element Xerotherm Women's Thermal Leggings, simple, minimalist leggings have been designed for maximum performance. The high waistband ensures good overlap of the top and leggings and unique foot pocket design ensures that your leggings do not ride up. Flat seams provide next-to-skin comfort throughout the dive. Fourth Element Xerotherm is the ultimate base layer for use under a drysuit. Made using Polartec® Powerstretch® originally developed for NASA, the Xerotherm traps a layer of air - a much better insulator than water next to the skin, keeping you drier and more comfortable. The range is designed to be worn under another undersuit or on its own under a neoprene drysuit. The knit of the Xerotherm fabric produces the fastest wicking effect of any of the products in the fourth element product range. Moisture is drawn out through the fabric along fine fibres and then spreads out over the outer surface. This maintains a thin layer of air next to the skin. The wicking is so effective in the Xerotherm that you may think you have minor suit leaks as your "wicked body moisture" is spread over the surface of the Xerotherm. "The performance is superb". This was the reaction of Doug Allan, world-renowned and award-winning underwater filmmaker and author after testing the Xerotherm in -2 degree (29F) water inside the Arctic Circle in Svalbard, whilst shooting sequences for the BBC production The Blue Planet.
