Fourth Element Arctic Socks

The Arctic drysuit undersuit is complemented by the NEW Fourth Element Arctic Socks. They completes the thermal protection system, offering low bulk thermal protection to the extremities.

The two-layer construction is warm and comfortable. The inner liner can be pulled out from the outer liner to speed drying times.

Redesigned Fourth Element Arctic

The 2024 redesign is more than just producing a more OceanPositive product. It builds on Fourth Element’s more than 20 years of experience developing thermal garments and the feedback from some of the many thousands of users of the original Arctic in the field.

Now, with 80% recycled polyester in the outer and 100% recycled polyester in the internal layer, the Arctic undersuit system has also become part of Fourth Element’s mission to become OceanPositive.

The Arctic creates a micro-climate around the diver

Arctic’s two layers of high insulation and low bulk fabric ensure exceptional levels of thermal protection. Using a unique combination of fast wicking and high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro-climate around the diver, keeping the feet 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.
