Description
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.
- 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 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 fibers of the suit. Instead of maximizing the thickness of the layer of air near the skin, the Arctic minimizes 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.
- For easy donning. Furthermore, unlike other under-suits on the market, the Arctic under-suit is machine washable. Wash cool with half the usual amount of detergent. Spin and line dry, DO NOT tumble dry.
- A pocket on the upper right arm for small valuables. Furthermore, unlike other under-suits on the market, the Arctic under-suit is machine washable. Wash cool with half the usual amount of detergent. Spin and line dry, DO NOT tumble dry.
