The Fourth Element Thermocline One Piece is a women's full-length suit made as a lightweight, neoprene-free alternative to a wetsuit, with front zip entry. Fourth Element says the suit weighs less than 1 kg and is neutrally buoyant, so less lead is needed. It dries quickly, can be machine washed and folds for travel like a T-shirt, with no neoprene to damage.
