Fourth Element Arctic Leggings - Men's

The Fourth Element Arctic Leggings - Men's feature secure foot loops to keep leggings in place when donning the drysuit. A high waistband ensures that the separation of the 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.

Dual layer construction

Using a combination of fast-wicking, and high insulation fabrics, the Fourth Element Arctic Leggings 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 Fourth Element Arctic Leggings requires less loft due to more effective management of air held in the suit’s fibres. Instead of maximising the thickness of the layer of air near the skin, the Arctic minimises the movement of air within, reducing the cooling rate without any risk of trapping the air and preventing its release from the dump valve.



Arctic Leggings performs when wet

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