FOURTH ELEMENT HYDROLOCK neoprene gloves
The HYDROLOCK FOURTH ELEMENT neoprene gloves are designed for divers who want the comfort of a dry glove without the constraints.
These FOURTH ELEMENT gloves have a smooth inner seal that presses against the skin or the sleeve of the wetsuit to block water circulation. The high-quality neoprene used by Fourth Element retains its air bubbles under pressure, ensuring constant thermal protection even at 40 metres.
The Hydrolock is undoubtedly the most advanced wet glove in its category. What I like is the waterproof seal at the wrist, which acts as a real barrier: you can hardly feel the water entering when you dive. The grip on the palm is excellent, which is reassuring when handling camera equipment or reels. It's a quality choice for those who don't want to switch to dry gloves.
How do I choose the right size for the Hydrolock seal to be effective ? The glove should fit snugly on the palm and the wrist seal should be in direct contact with your skin to create a watertight seal.
Is the Hydrolock seal fragile when putting on the gloves ? Although sturdy, smooth neoprene should not be pulled with your fingernails. Simply slide the glove on using your fingertips to put it in place.
Can these gloves be used with touchscreens ? Their non-slip coating do not allow for sufficient precision for capacitive touchscreens on phones, but they are suitable for dive computer buttons.
