5mm Neoprene Hydrolock Gloves by Fourth Element
Cold-Water Thermal Protection with Tactical Dexterity
Diving in cold water shouldn't mean sacrificing the ability to operate dive computers, bolt snaps, or camera controls. The Fourth Element 5mm Neoprene Hydrolock Gloves—the most popular gloves in the Fourth Element lineup—solve the classic cold-water trade-off between warmth and manual dexterity. By utilizing a hybrid thickness design, these gloves place 5mm neoprene across the wrist and back of the hand for maximum thermal insulation, while integrating a thinner 4mm neoprene palm. This optimized profile keeps your core extremities warm while providing the tactile feedback and articulation needed for precision tasks at depth.
Advanced Water Sealing & Ergonomic Flexibility
Cold hands are almost always caused by water flushing through the dive glove. To prevent convective heat loss, Fourth Element equips these gloves with a specialized Hydrolock wrist seal that virtually eliminates water ingress, creating a secure, skin-to-seal barrier under your wetsuit cuff. Glued, blindstitched, and fused seams further reinforce the glove's watertight integrity. Designed for long-lasting durability without stiffness, they feature an articulated Octo-print palm for exceptional wet-grip performance and a minimalist back-of-hand print to maximize natural flex and eliminate hand fatigue.
