Hiko Ronwe ION trousers

Hiko Ronwe ION: Versatile water sports pants for maximum freedom of movement

Design and Cut: Freedom for Dynamic Paddling

The cornerstone of the Hiko Ronwe ION pants is their loose and generous fit. Whether you’re twisting your torso during a strenuous stroke, getting into the boat, or exploring the shore, these pants won’t restrict your movement. This “relaxed” design also offers a huge advantage during the colder months—you can easily layer a thicker insulating layer (such as fleece underwear) under the pants, instantly turning them into gear suitable for very cold weather.

ION Material: Durability Combined with Lightweight Design

Hiko, a traditional Czech manufacturer, used its tried-and-true two-layer fabric for this model ION. This material is highly resistant to mechanical wear and abrasion, yet remains very flexible and surprisingly lightweight. It acts as a reliable barrier against splashing water and cold wind, maintaining an optimal microclimate around your feet.

Comfort Features: Neoprene waistband and adjustable legs

The functionality of these pants is enhanced by clever details that you'll appreciate every time you're out on the river:

• Adjustable neoprene waistband: The lower back area is extremely susceptible to getting cold, especially when you're sitting on a wet seat. The wide neoprene waistband reliably keeps your back warm, and thanks to the adjustment system, you can tailor it perfectly to your body. It also prevents your pants from slipping down.
• Velcro Pants: The bottoms of the pants feature a simple yet highly effective closure with a Velcro strap. They can be easily tightened over paddling boots, minimizing water ingress from below.

What are these pants suitable for?

The Ronwe ION model falls into the "Splash Pants" category and is suitable for a wide range of activities:

• Water Tourism and Canoeing: A great outer layer for multi-day trips on rivers in the Czech Republic and abroad, where it protects against the elements and morning dew.
• Rafting and commercial river trips: The material is durable enough to withstand even rough handling and frequent contact with the boat's hull.
• Paddling in the colder months: When paired with thermal underwear, it's ideal for spring thaws or fall outings when you don't want to be fully clad in a wetsuit.
