The Fourth Element Men's Long Sleeve Hydro-T Rash Vest is part of Fourth Element's OceanPositive Collection — gear built with the ocean in mind, from the water it protects to the recycled fibres it's made from. Designed to sit comfortably under a wetsuit or semi-dry, or worn solo as a UPF 50+ layer for any water sport, it's the kind of base layer you'll reach for every session.
The ultra-smooth fabric — 85% recycled polyester, 15% elastane — reduces friction against your suit and moves with you rather than against you. Flatlock seams keep pressure points to a minimum, and the flattering panel construction gives a streamlined fit without restricting range of motion. These aren't the colourways you'll find everywhere, either — both options are exclusive to Mike's Dive Store, so you won't see them coming out of anyone else's kit bag.
Features:
- UPF 50+ sun protection — suitable for surface intervals, boat dives, snorkelling, or any topside water sport
- 85% recycled polyester construction — part of Fourth Element's OceanPositive commitment to reducing ocean plastic waste
- 15% elastane for four-way stretch and a close, flexible fit under a wetsuit
- Ultra-smooth fabric
- Flatlock seams — lie flat against the skin to prevent chafing under a suit
- Thumb loops — keep sleeves in place and stop them riding up inside your wetsuit
- Water-based inks — lower environmental impact printing, no harsh chemicals
- Classic fit long sleeve — maximum coverage for sun and thermal protection
- Mike's Dive Store exclusive colourways
