Hiko SHADE V4 CROSS L/S T-shirt

Product detailed description

Hiko SHADE V4 CROSS - key features

SHADE V4 CROSS is based on the popular SHADE series and addselbow pads integrated directly into the sleeves - without straps and unnecessary buckles, so they do not take away equipment and do not restrict blood circulation to the arm. The material dries quickly, warms when it gets cold, and effectively protects from the sun; all in a lightweight, close-fitting cut that stays in place even during demanding maneuvers.

Material and cut

The shirt is made ofpremium recycled polyester sfinely combed inner layer for a pleasant touch on the skin. Thanks to the stretchy knit it fits perfectly on the body, does not stretch and does not hinder the rotation of the torso or the shot. The construction is designed for aquatic environments - the fabric wicks moisture quickly and doesn't stick to the body, so it dries quickly after an esky and shower.

Comfort and safety

Outfitting t-shirts think about maximum comfort throughout the day on and off the water:

• Integrated elbow pads - shock absorbing for contact in kayak cross and WW, without straps for full blood flow and longer gear life.
• Quick-drying knit - minimizes wind chill after getting wet.
• UV protection - suitable for all-day paddling in the sun and as a first layer under a dry jacket.
• Combed inner side - soft feel, comfort even when worn for long periods of time.

What is it suitable for?

Hiko SHADE V4 CROSS is ideal for:

✅Kayak cross and contact disciplines - elbow pads increase safety in tight passages and when touching boats or gates.
✅Whitewater river-running - a durable, snug-fitting layer that does not slip and dries quickly.
✅Sea/SUP touring in the sun - UV protection and moisture wicking for all-day comfort; also suitable as a base layer under a jacket.
