Fourth Element Arctic Top – Mens Thermal Top
The Fourth Element Arctic Thermal Top For Men, is designed with a long body portion to ensure adequate overlap between the Arctic top and leggings. Thumb loops prevent the sleeves from riding up while donning your drysuit, but remember to remove them and tuck them back underneath the wrist seals to make sure you get a dry dive!
Tuck the top into the waistband of the arctic leggings/trousers before donning drysuit to prevent any separation and riding up during the dive, this helps prevent the divers lower back getting cold.
This is the Original, Pre 2024, version of the Arctic.

Fourth Element Arctic Fabric | Technology
HIGH PERFORMANCE UNDERSUIT
Backed by years of field testing from industry professionals such as the British Antarctic Survey Dive Team and the Norwegian Navy, the Fourth Element Arctic was designed using high technology fabrics tested in real diving conditions.
The Arctic€™s two layers of insulation and low bulk fabric ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection and 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 fast wicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro climate around the diver, keeping the body dry and warm. Instead of maximising the thickness of the layer of air near the skin, it requires less loft by minimising the movement of air within, reducing the rate of cooling without risking trapping air and preventing the dump valve from releasing.
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.
