Sharkskin
Sharkskin Performance Long Pants (Men's)
Sharkskin Performance Long Pants (Men's) are thermal pants for divers and watersports athletes who train hard and need full leg protection from wind and spray. They combine Chillproof fabric with neoprene panels, so you get warmth without giving up mobility. They make a solid choice for long days on the water when cold legs would otherwise end the session early.
Chillproof With Neoprene Where It Counts
The main fabric is Chillproof, a three-layer membrane that keeps wind and water out while wicking moisture away from your skin. Sharkskin rates the Chillproof version as equivalent to 3mm of neoprene. Neoprene panels at the knees and seat add water protection and help with movement in the areas that see the most stress, like kneeling on a deck or sitting in a kayak.
- Four-way stretch for full range of motion
- Extra strength compression fabric made for intense activity
- Antimicrobial, with odor and itch resistance
- Neutrally buoyant, so no extra weight is needed when diving
Sharkskin also offers a Lite version, so you can choose a lighter thermal level for warmer conditions.
Men's Fit and Sizing
The men's pants come in SML, MED, LGE, XLG, XXL, 3XL and 4XL. The compression fabric gives a close, supportive fit, which is what helps them hold warmth and stay comfortable under a wetsuit or on their own.
