Mens Thermal Pants and Shorts
Mens Thermal Pants and Shorts are a soft and supple waterwear / swimming garments for your bottom half, on their own or for layering. Thermal bottoms are not made of neoprene (wetsuit material) but are made from technical fibres such as polyfleece and offer varying (typically low) amounts of breathability - neoprene offers none. They provide protection from the sun, rashing and rubbing as well as moderate thermal protection without restricting movement. Lightweight, quick-drying and versatile - our customers love these for the beach, surf and pool - even our scuba divers love wearing them as a basel-layer for the supple feel and extra warmth. Thermal tops are thicker and warmer then a rashie but are breathable, more flexible and thinner then a wetsuit top - in terms of touch and feel, poly-fleece thermals are a bit like tracksuit pants but with a water-resistant lycra outer layer and much more stretch.
Looking for thicker but warmer Wetsuit Pants?
With breathability comes versatility because, unlike neoprene pants, you can wear them on craft or on land without getting hot. This makes thermals ideal for supping, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, but realistically you can rock a thermal any time you'd like a bit more protection on the lower half.
Thermals are designed to provide a layer of breathable insulation that helps the air wick moisture from the garment, because of this they are not as warm as a wetsuit bottom, which is a superb insulator - but unless you're constantly in and out of the water (think surfing, swimming, kayaking, falling off the sup) then you might not need that level of insulation.
