Element ESP Zephyr Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What is a "Big Fit"?
   A Big Fit is Element's more relaxed, oversized cut. It is wider in the chest and shoulders than a regular fit, designed specifically to provide a more airy and comfortable feel in hot weather.

2. Are the chest pockets large enough for a phone?
   The double chest pockets are designed for flatter essentials; while they can accommodate smaller items, the hidden snap closures work best with items like cards, keys, or a slim wallet to maintain the shirt's drape.

3. What is the benefit of a snap placket over buttons?
   Snap buttons are much faster to operate and are less likely to be pulled off or loosened during active use, making them a more durable choice for a skate-focused collection like ESP.

4. Is the "Skin" print the same as the ?
   Yes, this shirt uses the exact same tonal print and fabric as the Orion shorts, allowing you to create a coordinated "co-ord" set for a high-impact summer look.
