Fourth Element OP Ladies Thermocline Leggings 

The Fourth Element Thermocline Leggings are tailored for women in tropical or warm waters, offering lower-body thermal protection equivalent to 2mm neoprene in a neoprene-free design. They're meant to pair with Thermocline tops for a full suit or wear alone for snorkelling and surface sports. The fabric uses ECONYL 100% recycled nylon from fishing nets and waste for the outer layer (78% recycled content), laminated with a polyurethane membrane and thermal fleece inside. The complete makeup is 33% ECONYL recycled nylon, 57% polyester, and 10% elastane, delivering stretch and resilience.

These leggings are lightweight, neutrally buoyant, breathable, and hypo-allergenic, with a high waistband for secure fit during movement. The breathable material wicks away sweat and water, preventing discomfort, and they're wind- and waterproof for surface use. In New Zealand's milder climates, they work well under wetsuits for extra warmth or standalone in warmer areas, weighing less than 500g to make travel simple—no creases when folded.

Care involves a quick machine wash and air dry, keeping the performance intact for seasons of use. Global Dive in Auckland, with more than 20 years as the friendliest dive store around, has these in stock across sizes. Our pro team can assist with pairings, like with a hooded vest for complete coverage during local dives or training sessions. These leggings highlight Fourth Element's commitment to ocean-friendly gear, blending function with environmental responsibility.
