Fourth Element Arctic Women's Top is one of the most popular undersuit garments in the world and its dual layer construction makes it perfect for cold dives. It is ideal directly beneath a neoprene drysuit or as part of a layered undersuit system with a baselayer beneath a membrane drysuit.
The Arctic top uses fast wicking materials to move moisture and perspiration away from the skin to prevent a chilling effect. The dual layers of fleece is highly insulating whilst still being of a low bulk and the outer layer is finished with a water repellent coating.
Thumb loops are provided to prevent the sleeves from riding up during donning of the drysuit and the right arm features a small zipped pocket for a key or personal items.
Tucking the long length top into the high waistband of the leggings before donning the suit will prevent any separation of the top and leggings during the dive.
FEATURES:
- Dual layer
- Low bulk
- Fast wicking
- Performs even when wet
- Small zipped pocket on upper right arm
- Thumb loops
