Independent Testing
Arctic 10+ Tested at −20°C Air, 0°C Water
Independent extreme cold-water immersion testing under Polar Code–relevant conditions in Norway — confirming stable thermal regulation well beyond standard survival suit performance.
Results
No Sensation of Cold. Stable Core Temperature.
White Glacier conducted extreme cold-water immersion testing on the Arctic 10+ and Arctic 25+ under Polar Code–relevant conditions: 0°C water, −20°C air, 10 m/s wind, over a 6-hour duration with simulated water ingress. The test subject reported no sensation of cold throughout, and forehead thermometer readings held at 70°F (21°C) — confirming stable thermal regulation in the head and brain region, critical for cognitive function during a survival scenario.
40–45%
Standard neoprene suits lose up to 40–45% of their thermal protection when wet. The Arctic 10+ maintained full insulation even with internal moisture — real wet-donning resilience, not just a dry-tested rating.
