The Xenos Arc wetsuit from Fourth Element marks a turning point for scuba divers seeking sustainable performance. Made from Ocena® natural rubber, it surpasses traditional neoprene in terms of stretch, compression resistance, and reduced environmental impact, while offering prolonged warmth and smooth donning. Ideal for dives in temperate or cold water, it caters to enthusiasts concerned with comfort, mobility, and ecology, transforming each dive into an optimized experience.
When the wetsuit fits the diver’s body
Launched at the DEMA Show 2025, the Xenos Arc excels in its practical applications for technical or recreational divers. Available in men’s and women’s versions, with thicknesses of 3, 5, or 7 mm, it prioritizes a design that facilitates quick donning thanks to a low-friction lining on the arms and legs, which also speeds up drying between dives. The reinforced knee pads, with an external anti-abrasion lining, provide protection during extended training on rocky or sandy bottoms. At the collar and back zipper, double Velcro systems and double-layer glide skin slow the entry of cold water, thus preserving essential body heat in deep diving. Paired with a buoyancy compensator or a high-performance regulator, it frees movement for smooth swimming, even in heavy configurations.
Thermal excellence
At the heart of the Xenos Arc is Ocena®, an ultra-stretch natural rubber offering superior elasticity to neoprene, for a comfortable fit without excessive compression. Resistant to compression, it retains its warmth and longevity over time. The recycled lining includes a double thermal layer on the torso, maximizing insulation where the body needs it most. Triple-glued and blindstitched seams minimize water infiltration, while the red Thermoflex lining inside the back ensures a velvety softness against the skin. Certified for optimal waterproofing, this wetsuit combines lightness and robustness, with express drying for back-to-back dives without delay. Available from January 2026, it embodies an eco-responsible evolution without compromising performance.
