Fourth Element J2 Shorts- Women's

The Fourth Element J2 Shorts are the perfect length for active use; with minimal seams cut to flatter the line of the leg and maximum comfort thanks to the excellent 4-way stretch fabric. Comfortable soft waistband made from recycled polyester and flat seams maximise next-to-skin comfort.

The baselayer that changed the game for long-duration diving is doing the same for the ocean. With a completely new design and more styles to suit you, the new J2 is made with 90% recycled polyester, making it OceanPositive to the core.

Silver-ion technology provides excellent anti-microbial performance, meaning you can wear your Fourth Element J2 Baselayer in comfort for longer.

Anti-Microbial

Silver ions are incorporated into the fibres when manufactured, ensuring that the bacteriostatic and ant-fungal properties of the fabric last. This cannot be washed off. The silver ions prevent the formation of bacterial cell membranes, preventing most bacteria from growing in the garment’s fibres. However, this will not adversely affect the naturally occurring bacteria on the skin.

J2 Shorts performs when wet

The J2 wicking performance also comes into its own when the fabric gets wet. Water is wicked away from the skin, and with the right combination of drysuit underwear, further away through the fibres of the undersuit. Even in the event of a suit flood, the Fourth Element J2 will retain some of its performance.
