Fourth Element - New - Arctic Mens Top XXL

Fourth Element - New - Arctic Men's Top The Arctic top has a long body to make sure it overlaps the top and trousers. Thumb loops stop the sleeves from riding up when putting on your gear. Remember to remove them and tuck them back underneath the wrist seals. The outer later is made from 80% Recycled Polyester and the inner fleece is 100% recycled polyester Updated contemporary flexible, metallic branding High wicking Low bulk, high insulation Foot stirrups to aid donning Pee-valve ready Single layered lower legs reducing bulk around the ankles Features Dual Layer Insulation - 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. 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 Undersuits - Unlike other undersuits on the market, Arctic's are machine washable at 30 degrees. Do not use fabric softeners. Line dry, DO NOT tumble dry.
