Why Arctic 10+ Is the Suit You Want When Cold Water Calls


1. Polar Code Compliance—And Beyond

The Arctic 10+ is the only immersion suit on the market that is fully compliant with the IMO Polar Code. This isn’t just a regulatory checkbox—it’s a testament to the suit’s ability to perform in the most extreme environments on Earth. Operators in polar regions are required to meet stringent safety standards, and the Arctic 10+ delivers with confidence.


2. Engineered for Subzero Survival

Designed for water temperatures as low as -2°C (28°F), the Arctic 10+ features a multi-layer insulation system that protects against hypothermia far beyond the minimum SOLAS requirements. In survival testing, wearers maintained core body temperature for over 6 hours, making it one of the most thermally protective suits available today.


3. Integrated Safety and Rescue Features

The Arctic 10+ is built with real-world emergencies in mind:

  • High-visibility panels for rapid rescue identification

  • Built-in buoyancy—no need for a separate lifejacket

  • Emergency beacon pocket for fast location

  • Reinforced soles and knees for mobility on ice, deck, or terrain

These features aren’t just convenient—they’re life-saving.


4. Fast Donning and Ergonomic Fit

In an emergency, time is critical. The Arctic 10+ can be donned in under 60 seconds, even in rough seas. Its ergonomic design ensures mobility and comfort, allowing crew members to move, climb, and evacuate without restriction. Multiple size options ensure a proper fit for every individual on board.


5. Trusted by Polar Operators and Safety Leaders

From ice-class cruise ships to offshore energy platforms and coast guard vessels, the Arctic 10+ is trusted by professionals who operate in the harshest conditions. It’s not just a suit—it’s a strategic investment in crew safety and operational resilience.



Final Word

If your operations involve cold water risk—whether in the Arctic, Antarctic, or high-latitude seas—the Arctic 10+ is the immersion suit you want on board. It’s built for survival, not just compliance. When every second counts, this suit delivers.
