Fourth Element J2 Short Sleeve Top Men

Fourth Element J2 Short Sleeve Top Men

The Fourth Element J2 Base Layer was specifically developed for the grueling 2013 J2 expedition into the Cheve cave system in Mexico. Designed to be worn continuously for up to 19 days in humid, demanding conditions, this top is the ultimate moisture-management solution for drysuit divers.

The J2 Short Sleeve Top utilizes a unique fabric weave that wicks perspiration away from the skin and through the base layer, keeping you dry and preventing the "chilled" feeling that occurs when moisture sits against the body. Its antimicrobial silver-ion technology is embedded within the fibers, inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria—an essential feature for multi-day expeditions or long weekend dive trips.

With its high-stretch, body-hugging fit and flat-locked seams, the J2 Top offers maximum comfort without adding bulk under your thermal undersuit. Whether you are a recreational diver or a technical explorer, the J2 provides a reliable, high-performance foundation for your thermal protection system.
