Sharkskin Womens Performance 2025 Shorts

The Performance range has been created with the help of competition athletes. These shortpants use a Chillproof/neoprene hybrid design to provide maximum fit and mobility for watersports. Neoprene panels are used in the seat area and over the front of the thigh to provide more comfort for extended periods of sitting, more stretch for a better fit and protection from cold water splashes. The high rear waist provides comfort and warmth when in a seated position.

Provided that you measure your body accurately then you will get the very best estimate for size. VIDEO GUIDE TO HELP YOU WITH THE BEST FIT Under a wetsuit - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ underneath a wetsuit then you will need to make sure your Sharkskin™ garment is ‘fitted’ so that it is firm on your body and does not bunch underneath your wetsuit. In and out of the water - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ by itself (not under a wetsuit) and are fully submerged or ‘in and out’ of the water (EG – ‘in and underwater’ watersports like SCUBA diving and snorkeling, and also general watersports where you are ‘in and out’ of the water like surfing, foiling, wake boarding, kiteboarding, windsurfing, performance sailing, etc) then it is also best to make sure your Sharkskin™ garment is more ‘fitted’ than loose. Out of the water - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ as a standalone garment out of the water 100% of the time (EG – SUP boarding, surfski paddling, recreational kayaking, snow skiing, sailing, as thermal wear for mountain biking and other outdoor activities, etc) then you may be more comfortable with a slightly looser fit to allow for better torso rotation and flexibility. Sharkskin Rapid Dry rash shirts - the exception to wearing Sharkskin™ ‘fitted’ is the Rapid Dry range. Rapid Dry is designed to be worn slightly loose like your favorite T shirt. FIT TIPS – To ensure a looser fit then size up or choose the higher end of the sizing scale when comparing your body measurements to the size chart. To ensure a tighter / firmer fit then do the opposite. When putting Chillproof or T2 Chillproof garments on do the zipper up at the narrowest part of your waist and then pull the top down towards your hips. Once pulled down then continue to pull the zipper up, (per the video demonstration). You may need a different size top and bottom - so please measure both top and bottom measurements rather than choosing the same size automatically. If you're tall and thin you are best to maintain a firmer fit even if it's a bit short in arms and legs.
