Expert Advice

The shorts should fit comfortably at the waist and across the hips, but they shouldn’t feel tight when you squat deeply or sit in a boat. Thanks to the Neospan stretch panels, they’re also suitable for active paddling, but for optimal thermal comfort, pair them with a neoprene shirt. The non-slip seat works best on a clean seat; after use, rinse the shorts with fresh water and let them dry in the shade.
