Description:
Light leg insulation for cold water on warm days. The NRS Men's HydroSkin 0.5 Pant (NRS item 15012.05) pairs with rashguards and light tops to give you thin, flexible immersion protection from waist to ankle. It works well for swiftwater teams, raft guides and boat crews who kneel, sit and wade through long shifts in chilly water. Pair it with our other dry suit base layers.
Features
- Nylon-spandex outer face: sheds water and stretches with every reach, pull and paddle stroke.
- Smooth, hydrophobic lining: feels soft against bare skin and does not soak up water.
- 0.5 mm Terraprene neoprene with a titanium layer: reflects body heat back toward you so you hold warmth in cold water.
- Drawstring with a raised waistband: extra material on the back panel keeps you covered whether you sit or stand.
- Form fit: limits water flushing in, which helps the neoprene insulate.
- Paddler-specific cut with friction-free, flat-lock stitched seams: for comfort and free movement during long shifts on the water.
