HIKO Neoprene Shorts & Long Pants – Premium Warmth and Freedom for Every Watersport

Engineered for paddlers, SUP enthusiasts, wild-water kayakers and anyone who demands maximum mobility without freezing, the HIKO neoprene shorts and long pants collection delivers exactly what European watersports athletes search for: reliable thermal protection, unrestricted movement and legendary HIKO durability.

Founded in the Czech Republic by Olympic paddlers Luboš Hilgert and Zdeněk Košťál, HIKO draws on decades of whitewater expertise to craft gear that's as tough as the Devil's Streams – the iconic Czech river hosting the 2025 Extreme Kayak World Championships. Our family-driven philosophy? Only the best is good enough, blending innovation with eco-conscious limestone-based neoprene for a lower carbon footprint.

Crafted from super-stretch 2.5 mm or 3 mm premium neoprene (NEO and SYMBIO lines) with sealed seams and reinforced critical zones, both versions guarantee warmth even when the water temperature drops. High-waist design with adjustable drawcord (shorts) or integrated suspenders (long pants) keeps everything perfectly in place during the most dynamic rolls and strokes.

Take the NEO Core shorts: quick-dry polyamide outer + ultra-stretchy inner, extended leg sleeves for knee protection and a self-draining zippered thigh pocket. Or the SYMBIO long pants: three rubber types for perfect sitting position, Supratex abrasion-resistant seat and knees, foam-padded protection and a neoprene belt with eyelets to secure your spraydeck.

Key Features

• Super-stretch 4-way neoprene – moves like a second skin
• Flatlock stitching for zero chafing on long sessions
• Reinforced seat & knees with Supratex – built to survive rocks
• Quick-dry thermal lining – stays warm when wet

Whether you’re hunting 3mm neoprene shorts for summer freestyle or full-length neoprene paddle pants for cold-season touring and sea kayaking, HIKO has the perfect fit – also perfect for canoe polo, surf ski, or dragon boating.
