Arctic mens set - Fourth Element - SALE

High Performance Undersuit

Backed by years of field testing from industry professionals such as the British Antarctic Survey Dive Team and the Norwegian Navy, the Arctic was designed using high technology fabrics tested in real diving conditions.

The Arctic’s two layers of insulation and low bulk fabric ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection and performance under closer fitting neoprene drysuits. In a layering system, the Arctic is also suited for use underneath membrane and trilaminate suits. Using a combination of fast wicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro climate around the diver, keeping the body dry and warm. Instead of maximising the thickness of the layer of air near the skin, it requires less loft by minimising the movement of air within, reducing the rate of cooling without risking trapping air and preventing the dump valve from releasing.

The Arctic retains a significant degree of its thermal performance when wet, such that wearers have found it possible to complete dives in relative comfort after even the most fundamental drysuit failures. In some cases, divers have not noticed a leak in a neck or wrist seal until after the dive, such is the performance of the Fourth Element Arctic.
