The Vaikobi UV Ocean Short is built for paddling and seated watersports in warm to hot conditions. Made with SPF 50+ Nylon Spandex, these shorts are cool, quick-drying, super soft, and have a tried and proven waist design that stays in place through every session. The 2-layer spandex fabric seat is cooler than neoprene, but still reduces friction where it matters most. The printed marle fabric gives it a technical look that works on and off the water.  

Key Features 

  • 2-layer fabric seat: Reduces friction and chaff for maximum comfort during long seated paddling sessions. 
  • Cooler spandex seat area: Keeps you comfortable in hot conditions without adding bulk.

Weight

Hop on some scales

Chest

Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.

Hips

Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.

Tips:

If one of your body measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.
