Thermocline Women's Short-Sleeved Zipper Shirt (Closeout) by Fourth Element
Revolutionary Neoprene-Free Thermal Protection
Squeezing into a damp, restrictive wetsuit can be one of the most frustrating parts of a dive. The Fourth Element Thermocline Women’s Short-Sleeved Zipper Shirt completely redefines thermal layering by offering the equivalent warmth of 2mm neoprene in an entirely neoprene-free, hypoallergenic package. Lined with a moisture-wicking micro-fleece and wrapped in a water-resistant outer layer, this shirt traps a microscopic layer of water against the skin while remaining highly breathable on the surface. Crucially for technical and travel divers, the Thermocline fabric is perfectly neutrally buoyant. This means you can add significant core thermal protection without having to thread extra lead onto your weight belt or compromise your meticulously dialed-in trim.
Versatile Layering and Effortless Donning
Designed with an anatomical women's cut to prevent cold water flushing, this top features a heavy-duty front zipper that makes donning and doffing effortless, even when the garment is soaking wet. The zipper also allows for rapid thermal venting during hot surface intervals. In tropical environments, it serves perfectly as a standalone top—or paired with Thermocline shorts—to provide core warmth and protection against UV rays and marine stingers. In colder environments, the smooth outer face of the fabric acts as a frictionless base layer, sliding easily under a thicker wetsuit to boost your core temperature, or serving as a low-bulk moisture-wicking layer beneath a drysuit.
Note: This is a closeout item. Availability is strictly limited to current on-hand inventory, making this an exceptional value for premium Fourth Element thermal wear.
