Fourth Element Men's J2 Base Layer Shorts

The men's J2 base layer shorts are designed to wear next to your skin and beneath your drysuit or drysuit thermal layers. Made from recycled polyester, the innovative base layer fabric wicks perspiration away from the skin keeping you dry and giving thermal protection throughout your dive.

The J2 Shorts feel beautifully comfortable beneath your drysuit thanks to the 4-way stretch fabric and are the perfect length for providing protection to the core areas. The wide, soft waistband of the shorts sits flat against the torso for maximum comfort whilst the double layer front crotch gives added support. The minimal seams provide a smooth feel along the line of the leg, perfect for drysuit dives of any duration, and an essential base layer within your layering system./
