Fourth Element Women's Hooded Vest 5/3mm

Fourth Element Women's Hooded Vest 5/3mm

The Fourth Element Women's Hooded Vest is designed to layer comfortably under your wetsuit. Although the design is minimalist, it adds valuable thermal protection. In particular, the extra 3mm neoprene across the torso helps maintain core warmth. As a result, divers stay comfortable for longer during cooler dives.

In addition, the neoprene fabric is engineered for performance. The smooth outer surface improves fit under a wetsuit. Meanwhile, the thermal inner lining helps trap body heat effectively. Therefore, warmth is maintained without adding unnecessary bulk.

Furthermore, the integrated 5mm hood provides additional insulation where heat loss is greatest. The Smoothskin seal helps minimise water entry around the face. At the same time, small venting holes release trapped air. Consequently, the hood remains comfortable while preventing cold water from flushing through.

By combining a flexible 3mm body with a thicker 5mm hood, this vest creates an effective layering system. For example, when worn under a 5mm wetsuit it improves overall thermal protection. As a result, it becomes ideal for colder dives or seasonal transitions.
