In the world's most unforgiving environments, survival isn't just about preparation, it's about innovation. Whether you're navigating polar waters, conducting offshore operations, or exploring remote regions, the Arctic 10+ Survival Suit by White Glacier offers a breakthrough in personal protection. It's not just an immersion suit is a survival system engineered to endure the extreme.
Built for the Coldest Challenges
The Arctic 10+ is designed to protect lives in conditions where traditional gear fails. With a CLO value of 4.87, it delivers industry-leading thermal insulation, helping users retain body heat even in near-freezing water. Using the Hayes & Cohen (1987) method, the suit has demonstrated survival times exceeding 14 hours in 2°C water a benchmark that sets it apart from conventional immersion suits.
And that is just the baseline. Survival time can be extended through active measures such as light exercise to stimulate circulation and the use of chemical hand warmers inside the suit. These enhancements make the Arctic 10+ not only protective but adaptable to real-world survival strategies.
Unmatched Buoyancy and Comfort
Unlike standard suits that rely solely on foam or inflatable components, the Arctic 10+ integrates buoyant materials that provide 33 pounds of lift. When air is trapped in the torso area, total buoyancy can reach nearly 100 pounds, giving users a sensation akin to being in a sleeping bag on a water bed. This combination of flotation and comfort is critical for long-duration survival scenarios.
The Splash Tent: Your Personal Habitat at Sea
One of the Arctic 10+'s most revolutionary features is the built-in Splash Tent. This deployable protective film extends from the abdomen and behind the neck to form a dome-like shelter over the user. It shields against wind, waves, and rain, creating a hands-free survival environment that enhances thermal protection and comfort.
In temperate waters, users can even remove their arms from the suit to cool off and reinsert them when cold, allowing for adaptive temperature control without compromising safety.
Designed for Real-World Survival
The Arctic 10+ is certified as an Immersion Suit under US Coast Guard, MED, Transport Canada, and UK regulations, but it goes far beyond compliance. It's a Survival Suit built for extended exposure, mobility, and real-world functionality.
Whether you're part of a polar expedition, a commercial fleet, or a recreational boating community, the Arctic 10+ offers peace of mind in the most extreme conditions.
