Fourth Element Ladies Arctic 2 Piece

The Arctic's two layers of high insulation, low bulk fabric, ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection. Constructed with comfort and utility in mind, the minimalist design provides outstanding performance under closer fitting neoprene drysuits.

In a layering system (see link below), 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. A high density inner fleece provides superior insulation, with maximum comfort and wicking, whilst the outer layer, which has a water repellant finish, ensures a snug fit.

Low Bulk Insulation

The Arctic requires less loft to perform due to more effective management of air which is held in the fibres of the suit. Instead of maximising the thickness of the layer of air near the skin, the Arctic minimises the movement of air within, reducing the rate of cooling, without any risk of trapping the air and preventing its release from the dump valve.

Performance When Wet

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.

Machine Washable

Arctics are machine washable.

Wash cool with half the usual amount of detergent.

Spin and line dry

DO NOT tumble dry

Tip: every few washes if your machine is able to tumble on low or no heat - give your Arctics 5 minutes in the drier with no or low heat.
