Protect the extremities. That's what one of the famous explorers said, and it's true that if your feet get cold on a dive, concentration can waver, and an otherwise fantastic dive can be marred by discomfort. From fin socks, designed to alleviate the rubbing from a full foot fin or keep the feet a bit warmer and comfortable in neoprene boots, to the Hotfoot and Hotfoot Pro, a dry suit sock with a water resistant outer layer, there is always a fourth element solution to keeping the feet warm.
The Arctic socks, completes the thermal protection system, offering low bulk thermal protection to the extremities. The two-layer construction is warm and comfortable, and the inner liner can be pulled out from the outer liner to speed drying times. The Fourth Element Arctic Socks combine the outstanding performance of the Xerotherm with additional thermal layering; the Arctic is the next stage in the development of a high-performance system for divers in the most extreme environmental conditions.Fast wicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro climate around the wearer, 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 repellant finish, ensures a snug fit.
Suitable for year-rounduse underneath dry suits; the Arctic, builds on the performance of the Xerotherm base layer to be the perfect lightweight under suit for dry suit diving. The Arctic fabricwill also continue to perform when wet. In situations even when a dry suit has flooded, the Arctic continues to provide thermal protection. In many cases of minor leaks, you simply will not notice as the Arctic is so efficient at wicking water away from the skin and keeping you warm. All seams are flat stitched for added comfort as an under garment. Socks are available in multiple sizes.
