Fourth Element Xerotherm Leggings

The Xerotherm Leggings complete the lower half of your drysuit layering system. Built with genuine Polartec® Power Stretch®, they efficiently transport moisture away from the skin while maintaining a thin insulating air layer. Their lightweight construction improves warmth without increasing bulk, making them equally suited to recreational, technical and professional diving.

A high waistband ensures excellent overlap with the Xerotherm Long Sleeve Top, while the unique foot pocket design keeps the leggings correctly positioned inside your drysuit throughout the dive.

Why Choose the Fourth Element Xerotherm Leggings?

The Fourth Element Xerotherm Leggings are designed as the lower half of a complete drysuit baselayer system. Worn directly against the skin, they rapidly transport moisture away from the body while maintaining a thin insulating layer of air, helping divers remain warmer, drier and more comfortable throughout the dive.

Made from genuine Polartec® Power Stretch®, the Xerotherm Leggings provide exceptional stretch, breathability and durability without adding unnecessary bulk. Their slim profile makes them ideal beneath technical undersuits, while their moisture management properties improve the overall efficiency of your entire thermal layering system.

Designed for Efficient Thermal Layering

Many divers focus on choosing the warmest undersuit, but effective insulation begins with the baselayer worn next to the skin. Moisture generated before or during a dive can reduce thermal efficiency, making even the warmest undersuit feel colder over time.

The Xerotherm Leggings continuously move moisture away from the skin, helping maintain a dry insulating air layer. Whether worn beneath a Fourth Element Arctic, HALO A°R or another thermal undersuit, they improve comfort during both recreational and technical dives.

Purpose-Built for Drysuit Diving

The Xerotherm Leggings include a high waistband that overlaps comfortably with the matching Xerotherm Long Sleeve Top, reducing the chance of exposed skin while moving underwater. Their unique foot pocket design helps prevent the leggings from riding up while putting on a drysuit, ensuring the garment stays correctly positioned throughout the dive.

Flatlock seams minimise pressure points beneath harnesses and drysuit seals, while the lightweight construction allows unrestricted movement without increasing buoyancy.

Ideal for Melbourne and Victorian Diving

Cold-water diving throughout Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay and the Mornington Peninsula demands an effective layering system. Whether exploring local piers, completing longer boat dives or undertaking technical training, maintaining lower body warmth contributes significantly to overall comfort.

The Xerotherm Leggings are a popular choice for Victorian divers because they provide excellent moisture management while remaining lightweight and low profile beneath any drysuit.

Who Are the Xerotherm Leggings Best For?

The Xerotherm Leggings are ideal for divers looking to improve the performance of their drysuit layering system without adding unnecessary bulk. They are suitable for recreational divers, technical divers, CCR divers and underwater photographers who spend extended periods in cold water.

Pairing the Xerotherm Leggings with the matching Long Sleeve Top creates a complete baselayer system that maximises moisture management before adding an insulating undersuit for colder conditions.
