An essential for every kit.
Every paddler has his or her own “must-have” items—but it’s universally acknowledged that a pair of water shorts have a place in every kit. If you’re still on the lookout for your own pair, the Quantum Neoprene Paddling Shorts are the perfect option for you. Made from a flexible and warm 3mm neoprene fabric, these bottoms will keep you cozy—and give your sensitive areas a little extra padding—as you splash through those long trips in your multisport boat or sea kayak. If you take a dip, which is a guarantee if you’re a beginner, these close-fit pants are far easier to swim in than baggy over-pants, and that same fit prevents the discomfort of fabric-bunching that board shorts can cause. For a multi-use short, these are an excellent choice that will quickly become a staple in your gear bag.
