The Fourth Element Technical Shorts are the perfect solution for divers who wear a wetsuit but need the convenience and storage of technical diving pockets. Designed to be worn over a wetsuit, these rugged shorts provide generous cargo pockets, outstanding durability, and a secure fit for shore dives, boat dives, cave diving, wreck diving and technical diving. Built to withstand demanding diving environments, the shorts feature recycled Supratex reinforcement across the seat and crotch for exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term durability. The large cargo pockets are based on the renowned Fourth Element Argonaut drysuit pockets, offering ample storage for wetnotes, DSMBs, reels, spools, torches and other essential dive accessories. Each pocket incorporates an internal wetnotes sleeve, bungee attachment loops for securing equipment and a mesh drainage panel to quickly release water after entering the water. A wide adjustable waistband with an anti-slip inner lining keeps the shorts securely in place, while the offset low-profile buckle maximises comfort both underwater and during long walks to and from the dive site.
