Cold Waters

Examples include Scandinavia, Baltic, Northwest USA and Alaska

I feel the cold

This is where layers are your friend! Start with the ever faithful J2 baselayer to wick sweat away from your skin and keep you dry.

Next add a Xerotherm top and/or leggings as your first thermal layer. Add a X-Core vest if you are doing a longer or slightly deeper dive, and then don your Halo A°R before putting on your drysuit.

I’m hot blooded

J2 Baselayer, with an X-Core vest over the top to keep your core toasty. Then don Halo A°R one-piece and don’t forget your thermal gloves under your drygloves! Switch up to a 7mm hood.


Top Tip

By the 3rd or 4th dive of the day, you will be tired and more acclimatised to the water, so you’ll feel the cold more – add a hood or an extra thermal layer to stay toasty.


Diving deeper?

Add a X-Core vest for extra warmth. Wear it between your J2 Baselayer and your Arctic to maintain body heat for longer.
