Fourth Element - New - Arctic Socks

Fourth Element Arctic Socks, low bulk and very warm Arctic socks provide excellent protection to the extremities.

Fourth Element Arctic Socks afford excellent thermal protection whilst being low bulk. Two layers of high insulation, fast wicking fabric mean that Arctic socks keep your feet warm in exceptionally cold waters. The high wicking Arctic fabric keeps moisture away from the skin for warmer more comfortable dives. The inner layer of the sock can be pulled out, allowing a damp sock to dry out more quickly.

The outer later is made from 80% Recycled Polyester and the inner fleece is 100% recycled polyester Updated contemporary flexible, metallic branding High wicking Low bulk, high insulation Foot stirrups to aid donning Pee-valve ready Single layered lower legs reducing bulk around the ankles

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 repellent 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 at 30 degrees. Do not use fabric softeners. Line dry, DO NOT tumble dry.
