Fourth Element Arctic X Men's Jacket

Cold water doesn't care how keen you are. Whether you're counting down the minutes on the surface or already geared up and waiting for the boat to reach the site, the Arctic X Jacket is designed to keep you warm from the moment you leave the changing room to the moment you hit the water — and just as importantly, between dives when evaporative cooling does its worst.

Built to perform above and below the surface

The Arctic X Jacket works equally well as a standalone topside layer or as the thermal core of your drysuit undersuit setup. The outer shell features a DWR water-repellent finish that sheds moisture during surface intervals, reducing the evaporative cooling that catches so many divers out. Underneath, a soft fleece lining locks in warmth without the bulk.

Engineered for how divers actually move

The 4-way stretch construction moves with your body rather than fighting it, and the articulated sleeves are specifically cut with horizontal trim in mind. Thumb loops hold the cuffs firmly in place while you're pulling on your drysuit, and the full-length front zip makes the whole process quick and straightforward.

Made with the ocean in mind

The fabrics are produced from recycled materials and carry Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Oeko-Tex 100, and Bluesign certifications. It arrives in plastic-free packaging, and when it needs a clean, it goes straight in the washing machine.
