Sharkskin Chillproof Short Pants (Junior)

Sharkskin Chillproof Short Pants (Junior) give kids a warmer option than regular swimmers on snorkeling trips and days around the dive boat. They can be worn by themselves or slipped under a wetsuit for added thermal protection. Matched with a Chillproof long sleeve top or vest, they help keep children comfortable when the water is cool or the wind is up.

Why Chillproof Works Under a Wetsuit or on Its Own

Chillproof is a three-layer fabric made for the water, with warmth Sharkskin compares to a 2.5 to 3mm neoprene wetsuit. Unlike neoprene, it stretches easily and goes on without a fight. Its windproof membrane blocks chill on deck while still letting heat escape when kids get busy.

• Fleece lining that feels soft on young skin and wicks moisture
• A durable water repellent finish that sheds water
• Neutrally buoyant, so junior divers do not need added weight
• Resists chafing and odor for long days at the beach
• Seam thread built to hold up to saltwater
• UPF50+ sun protection

Sizing for Kids

The shorts have a unisex cut and are sized by age, from 4 up to 12 (sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12). Four-way stretch means they keep up with kids who never sit still, and they pull on and off quickly at the end of a session.
