So Nice, I Bought Twice!

The "Fourth Element Arctic" undergarment shirt is a favorite! It is ultra-warm and comfortable while yet styled so attractively that it can be donned casually! It amazingly offers warmth, even when sopping wet at depth! I already had one, but I love it so much that I purchased a second! I do highly recommend this item!

IDEAL Dry Suit Undergarment!

I knew that Fourth Element offered this undergarment in varying thickness, and chose this one to see if it would work in mid- to high-40s (F) water with a tri-lam drysuit. Bottom line: They make thicker ones, but this worked perfectly--and maintained its thermal properties even after a minor leak. Plenty warm on a long, cold dive, as well topside in ~30F weather. Fits nice and snugly and has thumbs looks (and stirrups for the pants). And the LeisurePro price was hard to beat!

My Son-in-law is Smiling!

I purchased the Xero therm pants and shirt for my son-in-law for Christmas. Hes been in our family for 15 years and Ive never seen a bigger smile on his face. These items were "stretch" wish list items for him - - something he really didnt anticipate ever being able to have. The quality of both items far surpassed even his expectations and now that hes tried them hes in heaven (except on the bottom of the sea)!

Easier Donning

Easier Donning

The new Arctic top features hand-warmer pockets and a full-length zip allowing easier donning.

The 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 dry suits. In a layering system, the Arctic is also suited for use underneath membrane and trilaminate suits. Without question one of the most popular dry suit undergarments on the market, the Arctic under suit top is suitable for use on its own underneath neoprene dry suits or in a layering system with base layers under a trilaminate suit. Low bulk, high insulation, the high-density fabrics maximize thermal protection whilst wicking away moisture from perspiration and suit leaks.

A long overlap between top and leggings prevents separation and cold spots developing (Fourth Element recommend tucking the top into the waistband of the leggings just before donning your dry suit). Suitable for year-rounduse underneath dry suits; the Arctic, builds on the performance of the Xerotherm base layer to be the perfect lightweight under suit for dry suit diving. The Arctic fabricwill also continue to perform when wet. In situations, even when a dry suit has flooded, the Arctic continues to provide thermal protection. In many cases of minor leaks, you simply will not notice as the Arctic is so efficient at wicking water away from the skin and keeping you warm. All seams are flat stitched for added comfort as an undergarment. Top is equipped with thumb loops making donning a dry suit on top of the Artic undergarments easy. Undergarment is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
