I love these shorts! I have a sit-on-top kayak, and I sit in water every time I go out. These shorts are very comfortable to wear and kept me warm when the weather was a little too chilly for just a swimsuit. I also have the capri length HydroSkin and the Ultra Jane wetsuit - the shorts filled in where those products left off. The shorts have been washed countless times this year and still look (and fit!) like new. I would highly recommend this product. I'd like to tell you some of the negatives I've encountered, but, honestly, there just aren't any!

Winter biking base layer
I use these as a base layer under insulated cross country ski pants for winter bicycling. The sizing runs small. Although warm at first, the trapped moisture becomes a detriment the longer you ride...Read complete review
I use these as a base layer under insulated cross country ski pants for winter bicycling. The sizing runs small. Although warm at first, the trapped moisture becomes a detriment the longer you ride.
I also plan to use these whiled paddling the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. I am sure I will appreciate the protection if I end up in the water, which hovers around 50 degrees even in August.

Comments about NRS Women's HydroSkin Sport Shorts:
I live in Hawaii on the island of Kauai. My husband and I run tours that do a combination of kayaking, hiking and rappelling. We are wet and active all day and these shorts are comfortable and almost like second skin when wet. On hot days the shorts do get warm and you get sweaty underneath if your not in the water but on cool days that's helpful. We hike to a waterfall and the shorts don't give you rash like some regular swim shorts do. We rappel down the face of a waterfall into the pool below and the shotrts rub against rocks at times but they are holding up great. One of the best things I like about it is that the material it's made out of (tereprene?) doesn't make me itchy after wearing it all day like other wetsuit material. I started out with one, then two more, and now I have six. One for every day I work. I hope they never stop making these! Mahalo from Kauai!

Comments about NRS Women's HydroSkin Sport Shorts:
I use these shorts for kayaking. In cold weather they are so warm and comfortable. Stretch and perfect cushionioning for less comfortable kayak seats. Back always warm and covered when seated. I have 2 pairs to alternate (as they don't quite dry out enough, hanging on a clothes horse overnight).
To be perfect, they need a little extra length in the leg and less loose fitting around the upper leg (I agree with previous reviewer, that they flap about as soon as they get wet..). I am average/ish height (5'4")and weight.
Overall though, these are the best padded paddling shorts around right now for women.

Q:
Are these shorts waterproof? My mother has bladder issues, and is constantly worried about getting an infection. I wanted to buy her something that would protect that part of her body from the chlorine and other germs from the pool water. Thanks Lisa.Asked on 11/7/2012 by Lisa2 answers

A:
No the hydro skin shorts are not waterproof. They are basically a thin wetsuit. Very comfortable and flexible

They are not waterproof when fully submerged in water, but they will repel
