White Glacier and the Arctic 10+ have been featured across maritime, defense, and expedition industry media — recognized for redefining what a polar immersion suit can do, from Superyacht Conference coverage to industry publications covering the future of cold-water survival technology.

National Fisherman profiles the Arctic 10+ as sea ice retreat pushes fishing vessels further into cold-water regions. The article details the suit's three-layer construction — a reflective air-based thermal layer, a waterproof film layer, and an abrasion-resistant outer shell — and highlights its certification with the USCG, Transport Canada, and MED. Jacobson is quoted describing the suit as the most advanced cold-water suit available today for regions from Alaska to Antarctica.

Cruise Industry News profiles Diego Jacobson on the design gap he identified between the Polar Code's 5-day survival requirement and the standard Life-Saving Appliances Code suits most vessels carry. The piece traces the Arctic 10+'s development from a 2016 first version through its refinement with PONANT, including field testing aboard Le Commandant Charcot near the North Pole. Jacobson explains that water ingress can drop a standard suit's thermal protection by 40 to 45 percent — the problem the Arctic 10+'s splash tent and sealed design were built to solve.

Alaska Business Magazine profiles the Arctic 10+ as a major leap beyond the traditional neoprene "Gumby suit" used across Alaska's fishing and maritime industries. The piece traces the suit's development — from its heat-reflecting bubble-technology lining to its splash tent and bat-wing sleeve design — and includes field-test accounts from Learn to Return Training Systems instructors, who put the suit through jump tests, flare deployments, and extended ice-tank trials. The article also covers the suit's use aboard PONANT's icebreaker fleet, adoption by NOAA and UAF, and White Glacier's April 2025 Governor's Innovation in Safety Award. 

White Glacier showcased its Arctic 10+ technology at a live demonstration event hosted at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, drawing industry professionals, safety experts, and regional partners. U.S. Ambassador to Canada David L. Cohen and Embassy Commercial Affairs official Pamela Ward both spoke at the event, along with Arctic safety experts including a Canadian Forces veteran and a Senior Technical Advisor from the American Bureau of Shipping. The event highlighted the Arctic 10+ as the first suit that fully complies with the Polar Code's new 5-day rescue-time requirement

Powerboat & RIB reviews the Arctic 10+ as a serious safety consideration for offshore adventurers, highlighting its CLO 4.87 thermal rating — more than double the 2.0–2.5 CLO typical of other suits on the market — along with its splash tent, adjustable wear configurations, and Polar Code five-day survival design. The review notes the suit's Norway lab testing at 0°C water with −32°C wind-chill, sustained for over 10 hours without internal temperature drop.
