Thermocline offers a solution for many people who suffer from neoprene allergies, either by completely replacing the classic neoprene suit or by acting as a barrier, reducing contact between the skin and the neoprene suit itself.*
Perfect for all surface water sports as well as warm water diving, this is a revolutionary thermal protection system. Lightweight, neutrally buoyant, machine washable, breathable and hypoallergenic, the Thermocline full suit combines our expertise in high-tech materials with a passion for life in, on and under the water to create a truly versatile lightweight suit system.
The material provides increased comfort for the wearer when out of the water, during surface sports or when gearing up for a dive. The inner fleece layer wicks moisture away from the skin and transfers it through the breathable membrane, where it evaporates to the nylon surface. In the water, the membrane retains a thin layer of water next to the body and prevents colder water from circulating past it, making it ideal for surfers, freedivers and scuba divers.
Thermocline dries quickly, often within an hour or so between dives – a quick rinse and squeezing out excess water before hanging it inside out should ensure it's ready for your next adventure.
No more smelly neoprene suits – this suit is machine washable (we recommend using our eco-friendly Sub-30 detergent). It can be safely stored with other clothes, and when you pack it for vacation there’s no need to worry about the material getting damaged – it can be stuffed into the last remaining space in your luggage without any problem.
In our experience, skin allergies to neoprene, although rare, are not caused by a single compound, which is why it is difficult to guarantee complete prevention of a reaction. Thermocline has been used with great success by people with neoprene allergies, but it is important to consult a doctor about any symptoms and possible alternatives.
The long-sleeved top and tights together weigh less than 1 kg (2.2 lbs), making them ideal for travel, and because they are not made of neoprene, they can be packed without fear of wrinkling or damage.

Our Thermocline material does not behave in the same way as neoprene; it may feel tight out of the water, but once in the water it will relax, which is why it is important to shape it before use to avoid sagging.
