When the day calls for more than board shorts but less than a full wetsuit, the Pro Guide Neoprene Lined Short fills that gap without compromise.
Built for men, the Pro Guide pairs a stretchy, durable nylon outer shell with a 0.5mm super stretch neoprene lining that adds genuine warmth and protection for cool-water paddling without restricting movement. The 94% nylon and 6% spandex outer fabric moves freely through paddle strokes, wet exits, and everything in between, while the high-rise neoprene waist backing keeps your lower back covered and warm where seated paddlers feel the cold most acutely.
At an 11-inch inseam, the fit is active and unrestrictive for kayaking, SUP, and canoe tripping alike. The zipper fly with snap front and belt closure delivers a secure, adjustable fit that holds up through a full day on the water, and side pockets with zipper closures keep small essentials accessible and protected. It's a go-to piece of paddling kit for guides, instructors, and committed recreational paddlers who spend enough time on Canadian waters to care about staying comfortable across a long season.
