Air easy path in the Drysuit vs Undersuit

[Remy B.]

I went today to a Diveshop where they sell 4th Element and WaterProof and tried both undergarments.

Here is my Review between both.

I can say the WaterProof is by far much better designed and fit better to the body and without flexibility compromise, on the legs near the ankle and arms wrests ends it has a thinner layer, which I found very good so whatever you put on your wrest fits easier without needing to tight more due to the bulk layer like when you have a thick undergarment, as well for your boots and/or socks, all this helps to vent air out easier.

How it fit to my body is what sold it to me, the thinner layers at the extremities is just a bonus.

With that said, 4th Element is not bad, but WaterProof is just better, both are arguable in the top 5 best gears brands now.

But I will go for the WaterProof, just have to save some money as they are not cheap.

My FE Arctic leggings are thinner from the middle of the calf on down, which is nice. The shirt does not get thinner anywhere, though.

I bought the WP 200g undersuit, definitly warm but air does not seem to flow to my dump valve easily. Part of it is I am still new to dry suit but still not 100% sold on it. Also it was only $199 on DRIS so a good deal. You are right it fits nicely and is comfy.

It shall vent air better than the undergarment I have now that if floppy, if I hopefully purchased in the future I will see how it behaves.

Here in the EU I will not dive nothing that is not Drysuit.

I do like the foot pockets/ankle of the FE
