Description
Fourth Element Arctic Range – Extreme Performance Underwater! The Fourth Element Arctic Leggings For Men feature secure foot loops to keep leggings in place when donning the drysuit.
A high waistband ensures that separation of top and leggings is minimised, this really helps (combined with the long back on the Arctic Top) to reduce any rucking up during a dive and the divers lower back getting cold. 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. Short and regular leg lengths are available.
This is the Original, Pre 2024, version of the Arctic.

Fourth Element Arctic System Overview The Fourth Element Arctic’s two layers of high insulation, low bulk fabric, ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection. Constructed with comfort and utility in mind, the minimalist design provides outstanding 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. 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 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.
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.
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.
