The Fourth Element Argonaut 2.0 Stealth Drysuit is the next progression from the Kevlar that uses a new lighter and more flexible trilaminate material that is still strong and durable. It is also a fully custom made suit that is sized using Fourth Element’s Biomapping process and tailored with components of your choice to ensure the suit is absolutely perfect for you.
The Stealth Hybrid’s upper half is made from Fourth Element’s latest material. Whilst the previous Kevlar version was great Fourth Element felt it wasn’t as flexible as they would have liked so the Stealth material was born. It is a trilaminate material with a ripstop nylon outer that offers exceptional wear and abrasion protection whilst, with the help of the YKK composite zip and telescopic torso, gives the diver complete freedom of movement. Suits that have been out with long term testers have all been returned in a near condition which is a great testament to it’s durability.
The Lower half of the Hybrid uses Flex Cordura, a slightly stretch and hardwearing traditional fabric. The advantage of flex cordura fabric is it it time tested and easy to repair in the field. That said, 99% of our customers choose the full stealth option.
The Argonaut 2.0 is a fully bespoke suit so there are no off-the-shelf sizes. Instead divers need to come into our store to be sized using biomap or contact us and we will arrange for you to do it at home! There is also no standard specification for the Argonaut 2.0 as each diver can choose their boot / sock style, seal type, pockets, valves and other extras. Some choices do carry an additional charge which we can discuss during the fitting / order process
