Fourth Element Arctic Mens Leggings
The
Fourth Element Arctic Leggings with high waistband ensures that
separation of 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. Short
and long leg lengths are available.
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 repellant 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. Wash cool with
half the usual amount of detergent. Spin and line dry, DO NOT tumble
dry. Tip: Every few washes if your machine is able to tumble on low or
no heat - give your Arctics 5 minutes in the drier with no or low heat.
