Sharkskin Chillproof Short Pants (Men's)
The men's Sharkskin Chillproof Short Pants give warm-water divers and paddlers extra core warmth without the bulk of full pants or a wetsuit. They hold warmth even when wet and still let you move freely, which board shorts on their own cannot do. Wear them for warm-water dives or out on a paddle board or kayak.
How Chillproof Short Pants Work
When you are dry, the fabric wicks sweat and heat away from your body, and when you are wet it recycles your body heat. That two-way behavior is what Sharkskin means when it says these shorts keep you cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold.
- A 3 layer membrane keeps wind and water out while wicking moisture away
- Soft fleece liner for comfort and dryness
- Antimicrobial, with odor and itch resistance
- Neutral buoyancy for diving
- Four-way stretch fabric that moves without chafing
Men's Fit and Sizing
Men's sizes run from XSM to 4XL. The grey logos are designed to go with any Sharkskin top, so these shorts slot easily into a kit you may already own. The windproof fabric also protects you from that unwanted chill when you climb out of the water into a breeze.
