Palm Quantum Shorts: High-quality 3mm neoprene shorts for water sports

Quantum Shorts: Thermal Protection for the Lower Body

Palm Quantum Shorts These are neoprene shorts designed for paddlers and other active users in aquatic environments. The 3-mm-thick neoprene protects the lower body from getting cold while sitting in a boat, coming into contact with water, or moving around in windier weather.

The high back waistband helps cover the lower back area, which is prone to getting cold while paddling and sitting in a kayak, canoe, or raft. The shorts can be worn on their own, with a technical T-shirt, or as part of a layered paddling outfit.

3-mm limestone neoprene

The shorts are made of 3 mm limestone neoprene. This material strikes a practical balance between thermal insulation, durability, and the flexibility needed for comfortable movement both on the water and on shore.

• 3 mm neoprene thickness: Thermal protection suitable for cooler water and changeable weather.
• Limestone neoprene: An alternative material to conventional neoprene, which is made from petroleum-based raw materials.
• Flexible design: It allows for comfortable movement while paddling, getting into the boat, and walking along the shore.

High back waistband for lumbar support

The high back waistband provides better coverage for the lower back and helps prevent the lower back from getting cold while sitting in the boat. It also makes it easier to layer the shorts under a paddling jacket, neoprene shirt, or other outer layer.

• High back waistband: It helps protect the lower back from the cold and wind.
• Better coverage when sitting: Useful for long paddling trips in a kayak, canoe, or raft.
• Easy layering: It pairs well with a neoprene T-shirt, jacket, or dry top.

Flat seams and a comfortable fit

Flat seams are designed for comfort whether you're moving around or sitting in the boat for long periods of time. They help reduce uncomfortable pressure and chafing that can occur when neoprene comes into prolonged contact with your body or the seat.

• Flat seams: Greater comfort while sitting, paddling, and being active.
• Sporty cut: It allows for natural leg movement when boarding the boat and when walking.
• Universal use: Suitable for a variety of water sports and recreational activities.

Expert Advice

Neoprene shorts should fit snugly at the waist but must not restrict deep squats, bending forward, or sitting in a boat. Wear high-waisted shorts under a paddling jacket or neoprene T-shirt so that your lower back remains covered even when you bend forward. After use, rinse the shorts with fresh water and dry them in the shade—this will keep the neoprene flexible and ensure it performs reliably for longer.
