FOURTH ELEMENT ARTIC Men's One-Piece Underwear

FOURTH ELEMENT ARTIC Men's One-Piece Underwear

The Fourth Element Arctic wetsuit for men offers excellent thermal protection thanks to its two-layer design made of dense fibres that trap air and create a real barrier against the cold. Its moderate thickness allows for great freedom of movement under a drysuit, while ensuring constant warmth from the start to the end of the dive.

The fabric wicks perspiration away from the body to prevent moisture from stagnating against the skin and making you feel cold. Even in the event of minor water ingress or significant condensation, the fibres retain their insulating properties, providing significant thermal security. The one-piece design eliminates air ingress at the waist.

In a layering system, the ARTIC FOURTH ELEMENT base layer can be worn under wetsuits, membranes and tri-laminates.

Technical features of the ARTIC FOURTH ELEMENT Men's base layer:

• The double-layer material reduces the need for heavy ballast compared to traditional fleeces.
• Thumb loops and foot straps keep the garment in place during donning.
• The front zip has a double slider for easy handling.
• The outer fabric is resistant to repeated rubbing against the inside of the wetsuit.
• The suit is machine washable and dries quickly between dives.
• 80% recycled polyester on the outside and 100% recycled polyester on the inside layer.

🤿 Diveavenue's opinion on the ARTIC FOURTH ELEMENT Men's base layer

The Arctic is the most versatile piece for diving in France all year round. What I like about this one-piece version is the total absence of thermal bridges. You feel like you're in a cocoon, no matter what movements or position you're in in the water. It's a sturdy garment that doesn't move, even after dozens of wash cycles.

❓Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can this garment be worn directly on the skin ? Yes, but adding a thin technical layer underneath facilitates moisture transfer even better and keeps the Arctic clean for longer.

Does this version interfere with the use of a pee valve ? The double zip is practical, but for use when diving with a P-valve, you will need to allow for a small gap for the hose to pass through.

How do I choose the right size so it's not too tight ? The cut is designed to be worn over a thin base layer. If you choose your usual clothing size, you will have all the room you need to move your arms and legs.
