Fourth Element Thermocline Shorts are men's shorts designed to be worn under a wetsuit, or on their own in warmer water, to add thermal protection for the body core. The close-fitting fabric does not ride up under a wetsuit, and a high back keeps them in place when paddling or swimming. They can also be worn under board shorts, or with a Thermocline short sleeve top.
