Fourth Element Arctic Leggings - Combining the outstanding performance of the Xerotherm with additional thermal layering, the Arctic is the next stage in the development of a high performance system for divers in the most extreme environmental conditions.
Â
Using a combination of fast wicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro climate around the wearer, 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.
Â
Suitable for year round use underneath neoprene drysuits or summer use under membrane suits, the Acrtic, builds on the performance of the Xerotherm baselayer to be the perfect lightweight undersuit for dry suit diving.
Â
The Arctic will also continue to perform when wet. In situations even when a drysuit has flooded, the Arctic continues to provide thermal protection. Fully machine washable.
Â
Increase the warmth of your xerotherm by add a Fourth Element DryBase layer underneath. Pre and post dive use the Fourth Element Ozone outerwear to avoid the chill.

Top thermals, have kept me warm for 40mins in 5C water in a membrane dry suit. They do seem to shrink slightly over time - worth bearing in mind when ordering!

Excellent, used them for the first time on Wednesday and they were warm and comfortable. Sizes are a bit weird, I'm 6'3 with a 34 leg but XL was way too long. L peoved to be a perfect fit.

Have used them for 3 days' sea kayaking out of Oban with several practice rescues. In combination with a good drysuit I was well - insulated and comfortable in the water. I think they are just right for this purpose.

Used for the first time in 9 degrees of water while cleaning the viewing tunnel in the Sea Lion pool. Feels great Wears great and keeps me warm. Chose the two piece due to finding one piece suits that allow me to stretch up without my voice changing

The Arctic’s two layers of high insulation and 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, the Arctic is also suited for use underneath membrane and trilaminate suits. Using a combination of fastwicking, 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-repellent finish, ensures a snug fit. 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. 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. Backed by years of field testing by the Norwegian Navy, the British Antarctic Survey Dive Team, the French Marines and the Danish Navy, the Arctic was designed using high technology fabrics and has been tested in real diving conditions from the Arctic to the Antarctic. he Arctic leggings feature secure foot loops to keep leggings in place when donning the drysuit. A high waistband ensures that separation of top and leggings is minimised. Tuck the top into the waistband before donning the drysuit. The lower legs are single layered to prevent too much bulk around the ankles making donning easier. Short and regular leg lengths are available. Keeps the body dry and warm Superior low bulk insulation for flexibility Performs even when wet Machine washable Comfortable fit with fleece inner Used by FBI dive teams and military divers world wide
