Fourth Element Arctic X Men's Leggings

Cold legs are a fast track to a miserable dive. The Arctic X Leggings are built to sort that out — serious warmth from waist to ankle, without the kind of bulk that turns getting into a drysuit into a ten-minute ordeal. Pair them with the Arctic X Jacket for a complete undersuit system, or run them solo as a thermal layer when conditions call for it.

Warm where it counts, slim where it matters

A high waistband sits close to the body, closing off the gaps between layers where cold has a habit of sneaking in. The DWR-coated outer shell sheds moisture during surface intervals, and the fleece lining holds heat in through the dive and beyond. The single-layered lower leg keeps the ankle profile trim — no excess volume bunching up when you're pulling on your drysuit.

Engineered for how divers actually move

Articulated knees and 4-way stretch fabric allow for natural, unrestricted movement — particularly useful when you're working in horizontal trim. Foot stirrups hold everything in position during donning, so you're not fighting with bunched fabric on the surface. An adjustable waist lets you dial in the fit to suit your layering setup.

Integrated pockets handle the small essentials, and subtle reflective prints add low-light visibility on early starts and late finishes — a quiet but useful detail on New Zealand boat dives.

Made with the ocean in mind

Produced from recycled materials carrying Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Oeko-Tex 100, and Bluesign certifications. Plastic-free packaging, and machine washable when it's time for a clean.
