Peak UK BAGZ H2O: Eco-friendly and waterproof shorts for all conditions
BAGZ H2O: Versatile Outer Layer
The British brand Peak UK designed the BAGZ H2O model as the ultimate outer layer to expand the possibilities of your existing water sports wardrobe. On their own, these shorts are extremely thin and lightweight, so you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing them. But once you pull them over thin neoprene shorts (e.g., Neoskin) or thermal underwear (Stretch Fleece), you’ll have unbeatable protection against biting winds and splashing water.
Material X2.5: Recycled ripstop and PFC-free DWR
The manufacturer relies on modern materials that combine high technical performance with environmental responsibility:
- Breathable X2.5 fabric: This lightweight recycled ripstop nylon boasts excellent performance—a water column rating of 10,000 mm (10 m) and a vapor permeability of 5,000 g/m²/24h. It effectively wicks away sweat and prevents water from penetrating the fabric.
- Eco-friendly DWR treatment: The water-repellent outer coating is completely free of harmful fluorocarbons (PFC-free). Water droplets simply roll off the surface without exposing the environment to chemicals.
- Fully taped seams: Even though these are shorts, all seams are taped, which guarantees that the fabric is 100% waterproof across its entire surface.
Comfort and Details: YKK Pockets and Drawstrings
Practical features you'll appreciate both on the water and when carrying the boat:
- Flat drawstring: The waistband is secured with a flat strap that doesn't dig into your stomach, even when you lean forward deeply in a kayak or on a paddleboard.
- Recycled pouches with YKK zippers: The shorts feature reliable pockets with high-quality YKK zippers. The pockets include built-in loops for securing items (such as keys), and the bottom of the pockets is equipped with sewn-in drainage channels for immediate water runoff.
- Reflective logos: They ensure your visibility and passive safety in low-light conditions.
What are these shorts suitable for?
Thanks to their loose fit and excellent packability, BAGZ H2O are perfect for:
- Marathon Races and Training: They provide the necessary protection against wind and water without adding unnecessary weight (they weigh only 230 g).
- Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): They don't restrict leg movement and dry quickly.
- Whitewater Rafting and Hiking: Reliable protection with insulating leggings in the spring and fall.

Expert advice: The layering concept is key with these shorts. BAGZ H2O don’t provide warmth on their own—they function as a windbreaker. If you wear them directly against your skin, they’ll protect you from light splashes, but they’ll only reach their full potential when combined with a high-quality insulating base layer (the manufacturer recommends Stretch Fleece or Neoskin materials). This will protect your base layer from getting soaked, significantly reducing the so-called “wind-chill” effect. To preserve the shorts’ eco-friendly DWR properties, avoid washing them with fabric softener. If, over time, water stops “beading” on the surface, treat them with a waterproofing spray designed for membrane garments.
