The Fourth Element Short Sleeve Hydroskin is part of their Ocean Positive, eco-friendly wear range ideal for swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers and all women who enjoy watersport activities.
You can use this rash vest as protection against wind, excessive UV rays or just as an extra layer under a wetsuit or semi-dry. The Fourth Element's hydroskin offers a superb fit thanks to their flattering panels and flatlock seams. With its elastic, extra smooth fabric, there will be no more issues with your ill-fitted or tight wetsuit as the hydroskin can also work as a low-friction layer between your skin and the wetsuit aid getting the suit on and off.
We love Fourth Element's Ocean Positive!
Fourth Element has been at the forefront of the Ocean Positive revolution, designing and manufacturing products from recycled plastic bottles or ghost fishing nets. This eco-friendly long sleeve hydroskin is manufactured from 85% recycled plastic bottles. But that's not all! Fourth Element also uses only water-based paint for their branding, reducing the risk of dangerous chemicals getting into our oceans. Choose to be Ocean Positive with the Fourth Element hydroskin range!
FEATURES:
- UPF50 rated for sun protection
- Eco-friendly made out of recycled plastic
- Only water-based inks used for printing
- Flatlock seams for a more fabulous fit and comfort
Fourth Element have moved to a universal system (XS, S, M, L etc) from a number system (UK12, US10 etc) to help ensure that you can find your perfect size whether you are shopping online or purchasing from our store.
During the transition period Fourth Element will sell garments labelled with either old or new sizing. This might lead to you receiving an item labelled with a different size to your order. Don’t worry! The measurements match according to the size guide, and you will receive your order with the fit that you want.
