Sizing advice - it can feel tight when you try it on, but when in the water the material will loosen.
When you are looking for a swimsuit with a little more warmth, this is the perfect solution. Equivalent to 2mm of Neoprene, with a warm cosy fleece lining. It gives you warmth, but without the restrictions of wearing a full wetsuit, perfect for cold water swimming.

Thermocline provides a solution for many people who suffer from neoprene allergies either by replacing the traditional wetsuit entirely or acting as a barrier when worn under a wetsuit, reducing contact between the skin and the wetsuit itself.*
Perfect for wild swimming, this revolutionary suit gives thermal protection.
Features:
Lightweight
Neutrally buoyant
Machine washable
Breathable
Hypo-allergenic
The inner fleece layer draws moisture away from the skin and wicks through the breathable membrane where it evaporates off the nylon surface.
In the water, the membrane traps a thin layer next to the body and prevents colder water flowing over the body, perfect for wild swimmers.
Thermocline dries rapidly, a quick rinse and a squeeze to get rid of excess water before hanging it up inside out should ensure it is ready for your next swim.
No more smelly neoprene suits – this wetsuit can be machine washed.
Store it safely with other garments and when packing for vacation there’s no need to worry about potentially damaging the fabric – it can be squeezed into that last remaining space in your luggage without any worries.
*It is Fourth Element's experience that skin allergies to neoprene, whilst rare, are also not caused by a single compound and therefore it is difficult to be certain of preventing a problem. Thermocline has been used with a great deal of success by neoprene allergy sufferers, but it is important to consult with a doctor about any symptoms and possible alternatives.
