FOURTH ELEMENT ARCTIC TOP
SHIPPING IN 5-15 WORKING DAYS
Probably the best-selling thermal undersuit in the world... WE HAVE IMPROVED IT!
The Arctic top is designed with a long body part to ensure adequate overlap between the top and the pants.
With low, full front zipper for easy donning and improved overall fit.
Thumb loops prevent the sleeves from riding up when wearing.
Remember to remove them and store them under the wrist seals. With hand warmer pockets for diving between dives.
The Arctic's two layers of high insulation and low-bulk fabric provide exceptional levels of thermal protection, now with 80% recycled polyester in the outer layer and 100% recycled polyester in the inner layer.
Built with comfort and utility in mind, the minimalist design offers exceptional performance under drysuits.
In a layering system, the new Arctic is suitable for use under neoprene, membrane and tri-laminate suits.
Using a combination of high-insulation and fast-wicking fabrics, the Arctic creates a microclimate around the diver, keeping the body dry and warm.
A high-density inner fleece provides superior insulation, with maximum comfort and breathability, while the outer layer, which has a resin coating for durability, ensures a snug fit.
The Arctic requires less loft to function thanks to more effective management of the air retained in the suit's fibers.
Instead of maximizing the thickness of the air layer next to the skin, the Arctic minimizes the movement of air inside, reducing the cooling rate without any risk of trapping air and preventing it from being released from the valve exhaust.
The Arctic maintains a significant level of its thermal performance when wet, so much so that wearers have found it possible to complete dives in relative comfort even after the most radical drysuit failures.
In some cases, divers have not noticed a leak in the neck or wrist seal until after the dive! This is Fourth Element's Arctic performance.
Supported by years of field testing by the Norwegian Navy, the British Antarctic Survey Dive Team, the French Marines and the Danish Navy, the Arctic has been designed using high-tech fabrics and has been tested under submerged conditions real from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
