Fourth Element Arctic Top - Men's

Fourth Element Arctic Top for drysuit diving

The Fourth Element Arctic Top offers superior performance for drysuit divers. This top features a long body for ample overlap with trousers. Also, a low, full front zip ensures easy donning and a better fit. Furthermore, Thumb loops prevent sleeves from riding up during use.

Redesigned Fourth Element Arctic

The 2024 redesign reflects over 20 years of expertise in thermal garment development. Moreover, Fourth Element incorporated feedback from thousands of Arctic users. This new top boasts a full-length zip for simple donning and adjustment during surface intervals. Furthermore, a lower neckline reduces bulk around your neck. Pockets also complement fit modifications, improving overall thermal performance.

Now, with 80% recycled polyester in the outer layer and 100% recycled polyester inside, the Arctic undersuit contributes to Fourth Element’s OceanPositive mission.

The Arctic creates a microclimate around the diver

Comfort and utility were key to the Arctic’s design. Consequently, top performs outstandingly under dry suits. Divers can use the Arctic as a layering system beneath neoprene, membrane as well as trilaminate suits.

It's two layers of high insulation and low bulk fabric provide exceptional thermal protection. The unique blend of fast-wicking and high-insulation fabrics creates a micro-climate, keeping divers dry and warm as a result. A high-density inner fleece offers superior insulation, comfort, and wicking. The outer layer has a water-repellent finish, ensuring a snug fit.

Highlights:

• Fast-wicking and high-insulation
• Performs whilst wet
• High-density inner fleece
• Water-repellent outer layer
• Updated fit for flexibility
• Full zip for easier donning
• Lower neckline for comfort
• Close-fitting, allowing for layers
