EXTREME PERFORMANCE
"I just did not get cold during the 14 day expedition, diving in water temperatures of down to 2 degrees" Phill Short, pioneering cave diver, after his recent expedition exploring a new cave system in Siberia.
The Xerotherm Arctic is one of the highest performance undersuits in scuba diving. Constructed using a unique combination of low volume, high insulation materials, the Xerotherm Arctic's two layer structure creates a microclimate next to the skin, maximising the retention of body warmth during a dive.
Using high density fleece, the Xerotherm Arctic holds air next to the skin and wicks away moisture from suit leaks or perspiration to maintain a dry zone next to the skin. The outer layer is high stretch, abrasion resistant material, which will not interfere with the operation of auto dump valves, and will not cause air to be trapped.
FUNCTION
The Arctic will also continue to perform when wet. In situations even when a drysuit has flooded, the Xerotherm Arctic continues to provide thermal protection.
The suit is designed to maximise fit and performance, giving snug protection to the body, including the feet.
The Xerotherm Arctic is fully machine washable
VERSATILITY
Suitable for wearing underneath neoprene or membrane drysuits, the Xerotherm Acrtic, can be used in conjunction with the Xerotherm base layer to provide extra protection for the most extreme diving conditions.
1. Thumb loops prevent the sleeves riding up whilst donning the drysuit.
2. Secure foot stirrups keep the leggings secure.
