Fourth Element SubX Salopettes (Bottom)

Fourth Element SubX Set

The SubXero is 100% machine washable, but should not be tumble dried. If the suit gets wet during diving without access to a washing machine, the suit can be dried by turning it inside out then rolling the garment from the bottom upwards to remove any excess water, then hanging it to dry. The collar can be turned down to avoid interfering with the neck seal of the drysuit, but in most cases this is not necessary, and the collar provides additional weather protection between dives when not wearing the drysuit.

The SubX has been developed for use underneath membrane and trilaminate drysuits and all independent testers have rated it as the warmest undersuit they have tried.

Windproof, and waterproof. the suit consists of a jacket and salopette or 'farmer john' giving maximum protection to the body core. It will also continue to provide thermal protection if it becomes wet, either by a leak or more fundamental suit failure.

The outer material is a trilaminate material comprising a nylon/polyester outer and microfibre inner, bonded to a breathable, but waterproof membrane. The inner material is a 400g shearling fleece, which provides high performance thermal protection and wicks moisture away from the skin.

The SubX has been designed with the dive and the surface interval in mind. Practical pockets double as vents during the dive to help prevent air being trapped in the suit, cuffs at the wrists and ankles are adjustable and a large vented patch on the arm has a wind proof backing to prevent windchill when not wearing a drysuit, but allowing air to escape from the auto dump when diving.

	Pocket Vents The pockets on the jacket and salopettes are zipped for security, but the pocket lining is a mesh, allowing the pockets to be opened to act as vents during the dive. This helps to prevent air becoming trapped and speeds up the process of dumping air from the dry suit.
	Crotch Strap The removable crotch strap helps ensure that the jacket remains in place and does not ride up during the dive. The strap is attached with pinch clips and can be easily removed after the dive.
