Womens Performance Paddle Short

Engineered for serious paddlers, the Zhik Women’s Performance Paddle Shorts combine technical stretch fabrics with a streamlined, athlete-driven design. Developed in partnership with elite paddle athletes, they feature a seamless seat panel that eliminates friction and discomfort during long hours on the water, ensuring you stay focused on performance.

Crafted from recycled polyamide with 4-way stretch, the shorts move naturally with the body, maintaining flexibility without compromising durability. The lightweight fabric is highly breathable and fast-drying, helping regulate body temperature in hot conditions and during high-intensity sessions. Certified UPF 50+ sun protection provides confidence in exposed environments, while the adjustable leg length allows you to customise the fit for added comfort and coverage.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Zhik’s and base layer tops, the Performance Paddle Shorts are versatile enough for racing, training, or everyday on-water use. By combining sustainability with technical precision, they deliver the reliability athletes demand and the comfort needed for extended wear. For those who need extra comfort, we also have a padded version to suit your needs.
