Description

A comfortable, soft waistband made from recycled polyester and flat seams maximize next-to-skin comfort. The J2 Shorts are the perfect length for active use, with a double-layer front crotch for added support, minimal seams cut to flatter the leg's line, and maximum comfort thanks to the excellent 4-way stretch fabric.


J2 Baselayer

Extended Baselayer Performance

Designed for extended use under a drysuit, the J2 Baselayer provides outstanding wicking properties combined with anti-microbial performance. Wicking perspiration away, the J2 maintains a dry zone next to the skin. Air is a better insulator than water; consequently, the baselayer ensures better thermal protection. These properties come into their own when the fabric gets wet as water is wicked away, and with the right combination of drysuit underwear, further away from the fibers of the undersuit.

The J2 was specifically developed for the US Deep Caving Team’s 2013 expedition to explore the Cheve cave system in Mexico, meaning the anti-microbial silver ions embedded within the fibres of the fabric are tried and tested. The J2 enables long, repetitive wear without the risk of skin infections, something which was critical on the US Team’s expedition.

Silver ions are incorporated into the fibers when they are manufactured and cannot be washed off. The silver ions stop the formation of bacterial cell membranes, preventing most bacteria from growing in the fibers. However, they will not adversely affect the naturally occurring bacteria on the skin itself.

high quality performance

"Fourth Element is dedicated to making the best gear for your underwater adventures, from award winning drysuits and wetsuits to swimwear and rashguards made from recycled ghost fishing nets. We develop our products to perform in the world’s most extreme environments and we are working to minimise their impact on our planet and its oceans."

Informations

Recycled Nylon

One of the key ingredients of neoprene, Eco Carbon Black, is recycled by our wetsuit factory from post-consumer scrap tyres. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.
Resources

Utilising a unique fabric made using ECONYL® recycled Nylon from ghost fishing nets, laminated with a waterproof membrane and thermal fleece, Thermocline revolutionises
the notion that being environmentally responsible means sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
UPF 50+ fabric

Active Fit

Our UPF 50+ fabric is a blend of recycled nylon and xtra life™ LYCRA® which gives generous stretch and also offers extended protection against chlorine and salt.
Econyl

This swimwear is made of ECONYL® 100% regenerated nylon, a significant percentage of which comes from fishing nets recovered from the sea.
Sustainable Packaging

Single-use plastic packaging just isn’t OK anymore. It pollutes our water ways, suffocating marine life and breaking down into micro plastics which enter our food chain. We still aren’t perfect but we’re improving and working hard to become single-use plastic free.
Limestone neoprene

During the neoprene production process, limestone is used to replace petrochemicals to form rubber chips. You achieve the same performance as traditional neoprene, but with way less environmental impact
Recycled Rubber

One of the key ingredients of neoprene, Eco Carbon Black, is recycled by our wetsuit factory from post-consumer scrap tyres. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.

Ocean postive

No More Microplastics

Water soluble | Recyclable | Compostable
Biodegradable | Non-toxic | Marine-safe
Zero waste

Our No More Microplastics packaging is 100% water soluble, recyclable, compostable and biodegradable – eliminating the problems that plastic usually causes when we attempt to dispose of it.

Develop better products

A Better Neoprene

Limestone Neoprene | Recycled Rubber | Dope-Dyed Yarn (exclusive products)

After the neoprene creation process, the redundant trimmed materials will be recycled and reused in the mixing process to produce more neoprene sheets. Overall huge amounts of raw materials are saved, energy consumption is reduced and waste water and air emissions are minimised during production.

Recycled materials

The recycled dive fin. It is the unique combination of materials which makes this fin special. The plastic is made from 100% reclaimed post-consumer waste polypropylene and the rubber is made with recycled TPR. By using materials in this way, we are preventing plastic being sent to landfill or ending up as waste in the ocean as part of fourth element’s mission to become OceanPositive.
