Fourth Element Xenos ARC 5 mm Wetsuit – Effortless Warmth, Engineered for Adventure

The Xenos ARC 5 mm takes everything divers love about the original Xenos range — comfort, flexibility, and quick donning — and adds serious insulation for cooler waters and extended dive days. Built using the revolutionary Ocean® natural-rubber composite, this suit offers the perfect balance of warmth, durability, and sustainability for New Zealand diving and beyond.

Why We Love It

Premium 5 mm thermal protection: Ideal for temperate to cooler waters, the 5 mm ARC keeps you comfortably warm during repetitive dives without adding bulk or stiffness.

Ocean® eco rubber core: Made from natural rubber blended with recycled car tyres, this next-generation material resists compression and maintains insulation throughout your dive season.

Eco-stretch recycled linings: Soft, fast-dry, and highly flexible recycled linings make suiting up quick and comfortable — no sticking, no struggle, even between dives.

Enhanced seal system: Hydrolock wrists, internal silicone ankle seals, and a Glideskin neck seal work together to minimise water entry and keep warmth exactly where you need it.

Thermoflex torso lining: Strategically placed insulation across the core improves heat retention and overall dive comfort.

Triple-glued blind-stitched seams: Designed to reduce water ingress while maintaining flexibility and long-term durability.

Built to last: Abrasion-resistant knees, a smoothskin zipper pad, and a cut-away heel notch show that every detail has been considered for divers who spend real time in the water.
