Fourth Element Technical Shorts

When a wetsuit is your choice of thermal protection but need pockets, look no further. Using hardwearing Supratex to reinforce the seat and crotch, Fourth Element Technical Shorts are designed to stand the test of the most adventurous diver.

Most attention has been given to the pockets - built to the same design as Fourth Element Argonaut drysuit pockets, using Cordura® fabric for durability. The pockets feature a wetnotes sleeve and bungee loops with the addition of a mesh panel in the bottom to assist with fast drainage.

The wide waistband ohas a low profile buckle and webbing to adjust for optimum fit. The waistband is lined with anti-slip mesh skin to ensure the shorts stay in position, whether in the water or hiking to the dive site.
