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.

Materials with purpose

Ocena Natural Rubber

OCENA® is a natural rubber developed by SHEICO Group for use in and around water. It replaces petroleum-based neoprene in wetsuits and other marine gear, cutting the carbon footprint by up to 95%. OCENA® carries USDA certification with 82% bio-based content, and SHEICO holds FSC Chain-of-Custody certification, so the rubber is traced through a responsibly managed supply chain.

ECONYL®

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

UPF 50+

Rashguards The 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.

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.
