The Fourth Element Storm Poncho launches

The Storm Poncho, Fourth Element's new all weather poncho, has arrived in store as demonstrated by Tracey (it is a little bit large!). Throw it on to get changed into your wetsuit or swimwear at the beach (plenty of space!) or on the boat. Use it to warm up after a session in the water or to cover up between dives. This poncho is waterproofed for all weather, fleece-lined and cosy lightweight, smaller and easier to pack than predecessors and is part of the Fourth Element OceanPositive range.
