Experience the Future of Survival with the Arctic 10+ Suit and Splash Tent

In the unforgiving world of cold water immersion, survival depends on more than just flotation—it demands insulation, protection, and adaptability. That’s why White Glacier’s Arctic 10+ suit includes one of the most revolutionary features in modern survival gear: the Splash Tent. This isn’t just a clever add-on. It’s a transformative survival feature that redefines what’s possible in extreme environments.

What Is the Splash Tent?

The Splash Tent is a deployable protective film integrated into the Arctic 10+ suit. It releases from the abdomen and behind the neck to form a personal habitat around the user. Think of it as a hands-free shelter that shields against wind, waves, and rain—while floating in open water.

Why It Matters

1. Extended Hypothermia Protection

Cold shock and hypothermia are the leading causes of death in cold water immersion. The Splash Tent creates a microclimate that dramatically reduces heat loss and enhances survivability by:

• Blocking wind chill and wave splash: Prevents cold water and air from stripping away body heat.
• Trapping warm air around the body: Forms a protective bubble that retains heat and slows thermal loss.
• Allowing users to regulate temperature by removing and reinserting arms: Enables active thermal management without compromising flotation or safety.
• Enabling users to breathe warm air in the Arctic environment: The enclosed space captures exhaled heat, allowing the user to inhale warmer air—reducing respiratory heat loss and minimizing cold shock to the lungs.
  
  

This combination of thermal insulation and environmental control can extend survival time to over 14 hours in 2°C water, far beyond the capabilities of traditional immersion suits.

2. Hands-Free Functionality

Survival often requires action: signaling for help, managing gear, or even eating and drinking. The Splash Tent allows users to free their arms without compromising thermal protection, making it possible to:

• Use flares or radios
• Consume food or water
• Tend to injuries or assist others
  
  

This hands-free capability is critical in real-world emergencies where multitasking can mean the difference between rescue and tragedy.

3. Comfort That Saves Lives

Survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about staying functional. The Splash Tent turns the Arctic 10+ into what users describe as “a sleeping bag on a water bed.” This comfort reduces panic, conserves energy, and improves decision-making in high-stress situations.

4. Adaptability Across Environments

In temperate waters, overheating can be a risk. The Splash Tent allows users to cool off by removing their arms from the suit, then reinsert them when cold—maintaining comfort and safety across a wide range of conditions.

Real-World Impact

Whether you're a mariner, researcher, or part of a Polar Code-mandated fleet, the Splash Tent isn’t just a feature—it’s a survival multiplier. It transforms the Arctic 10+ from a passive flotation device into an active survival system, capable of supporting life far beyond the golden hour.

Conclusion

The Arctic 10+ suit with the Splash Tent represents a significant advancement in survival gear. It combines insulation, protection, and adaptability to create a system that can save lives in extreme conditions.
