xerotherm arctic

[Mr.Pitbull]

I was really hesitant about shelling out the big bucks for something that looked like just a heavy sweatsuit. I read all of the reviews that I could find on several of the chat boards, talked with the folks at my LDS and tried some on. Still I was hesitant and after going back and forth for a month, took the plunge. I bought just the heavier Arctic set, and it was everything that they claimed that it was. It is warm enough for Lake Superior diving or Ice Diving, (not that there is much temperature difference). I have paired it with military poly longjohns and was too warm.
The awesome part of the Fourth Element is that it does not increase your buoyancy and trap excess air like the Weezle. It is smooth on the outer surface, so donning & doffing your drysuit is much easier. It also will not plug up your exhaust valve like the fluffy ones do. The warmth is quite a bit better than either the DUI or the Pinnacle undergarments. They dry quickly and come with the matching booties. (The booties run smaller than you think, so double check them before you order).
In short, they were the best purchase that I made last year. I actually was able to drop weight by switching from the fluffy undergarments with the high $ longjohns and gained warmth.....
it is good to be warm!
