The World’s Most Advanced Technical Water Sports Shorts

For decades, technical shorts were designed around one idea—adding bigger pockets. They became bulkier. More specialised. Built almost exclusively for technical divers and rescue professionals.

Sharkskin challenged that thinking. Instead of designing better technical shorts, we set out to reinvent the category.

Born from the demanding needs of technical divers and rescue professionals, Sharkskin Tactical Shorts have evolved into a completely new generation of Technical Water Sports Shorts.

Powered by premium T2 High Performance Fabric and four integrated technologies, they combine intelligent storage, natural ergonomics and all-day comfort into one streamlined system.

Whether you’re diving, paddling, riding, boating or fishing, Tactical Shorts are engineered to carry what you need while keeping you comfortable every step of the journey.

Adventure doesn’t begin when you enter the water.

  • It begins when you leave home.
  • Launching the boat.
  • Walking to the dive site.
  • Carving across the water on a jet ski.
  • Paddling towards a distant headland.
  • Exploring beneath the surface.
  • Relaxing at day’s end.

Tactical Shorts are designed for every stage of that journey.

  • Carry more.
  • Move naturally.
  • Stay comfortable.
  • Adventure longer.

Most technical shorts simply carry equipment. Sharkskin Tactical Shorts actively improve your comfort.

Constructed from premium T2 High Performance Fabric, they deliver exceptional protection wherever your adventure takes you.

Benefits you’ll appreciate

• Warmth comparable to a 4–5 mm wetsuit without the bulk.

• Windproof protection that helps eliminate windchill after leaving the water.

• Breathable comfort across changing conditions.

• Exceptional flexibility for unrestricted movement.

• Fast drying performance.

• Water-repellent outer surface.

• Minimal added buoyancy compared with thick neoprene.

• Comfortable enough to wear all day.

Because technical water sports shorts should do far more than carry gear.

They should improve your entire day.

LoadMax™ Easy Access Pocket

Right Where Your Hand Naturally Falls.

The best pocket isn’t simply the biggest.

It’s the one you can reach instantly.

Positioned naturally on the thigh, the LoadMax™ Easy Access Pocket keeps your essential gear exactly where you need it.

No backpack.

No awkward reaching.

No unnecessary movement.

Just quick, instinctive access whenever the moment demands it.

 

LoadMax™ Bellows System

Streamlined Until It’s Time To Pack.

Traditional cargo pockets are bulky all the time.

The advanced LoadMax™ Bellows System isn’t.

During normal use it remains streamlined and close to the body for unrestricted movement and reduced drag.

When it’s time to carry more, it expands dramatically into one of the largest-capacity utility pockets in technical waterwear.

DSMB (Delayed Surface Marker Bouy).

Torch.

Reel.

Wet notes.

Gloves.

Fishing tackle.

Safety equipment.

Pack it to the max.

 

SecureMax™ Pocket

Protection For The Things That Matter.

Phone.

Wallet.

Vehicle keys.

Passport.

Small valuables deserve dedicated protection.

The SecureMax™ Pocket keeps them secure, organised and always within easy reach.

Because some things simply can’t be left behind.

 

Load-Lock™ Integrated Cinch System

Load It Up. Lock It Down.

The biggest challenge with loaded technical shorts isn’t carrying equipment.

It’s keeping the shorts secure.

Traditional designs rely on bulky belts and front buckles.

Sharkskin doesn’t.

Originally developed for demanding rescue applications, the Load-Lock™ Integrated Cinch System is built directly into the shorts.

Simply pull the dual side cinches.

The integrated system distributes the load evenly around your waist to create a secure, stable fit.

No separate belt.

No bulky buckle.

Just one quick adjustment.

Even when the LoadMax™ Pocket is packed to the max, Tactical Shorts stay comfortably in place.

Designed for:

  • Scuba Diving
  • Freediving
  • Spearfishing
  • Snorkelling
  • Jet Ski
  • Stand Up Paddleboarding
  • Kayaking
  • Fishing
  • Sailing
  • Boating
  • Marine Professionals
  • Rescue Teams
  • Coastal Adventure

 

One pair of shorts. All Water Sports. Unlimited possibilities.

At SHARKSKIN, we deeply care about the environment, as many of us are avid scuba divers and natural world enthusiasts. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through five key company initiatives.

  1. Solar Powered
    We are pleased to announce Sharkskin’s new building is 100% solar powered.
  2. Environmental Manufacturing 
    Sharkskin manufactures in its own factory, allowing us to strictly control waste and efficiency. We pack our orders effectively to reduce freight and waste, and we use cutting-edge technology to minimize material waste throughout the manufacturing process.
  3. Biodegradable Packaging
    We have transitioned to biodegradable packaging. Currently, 95% of our range uses this packaging, with a goal to reach 100% soon. All newly manufactured items will be packed in the new biodegradable bags, while items in stock will remain in existing packaging.
  4. Australian Made
    We are proud to announce that we have been accredited to use the official Australian made Logo. The official website states, “The famous ‘Australian Made, Australian Grown’ (AMAG) logo is the true mark of Aussie authenticity. It’s Australia’s most trusted, most recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, and it’s underpinned by a third-party accreditation system, which ensures, products that carry the logo are genuinely Australian”.
    95% of our range is proudly Australian-made. Products that do not feature the "Australian Made" logo below the "buy now" button are not manufactured in Australia.
  5. Built to Last
    We believe in creating quality gear that stands the test of time and the harsh Australian conditions. This not only results in a better product but also keeps items out of landfills, reducing waste and environmental impact for the future.

    HIGH PERFORMANCE T2 LONG SLEEVE FULL ZIP TOP - MENS NEW Orange / M
    Love this wet Suit top

    My overall experience of the T2 zip top has been very positive. The water temperature in Auckland has been 15 degree celsius and it handles that with no problem.. I love the zip up front which makes it so easy to get on and off, unlike full wetsuits which are a hassle. The zip doesn't choke my Adam's apple either which is a relief. The only point I'd like to be a little better is that that bottom of the jacket tends to budge out from my body a bit when I'm swimming allow more water in. If it was a little more tighter fitting in that area I'd have given it a five star rating, although it's not really a movie issue.

    T2 CHILLPROOF SUIT CHEST ZIP - MENS Titanium / L
    Customer service

    This suit is incredibly comfortable and well made. The real star here was James in Sharkskin USA customer service. I was under a bit of a time crunch and needed to do an exchange. He could not have been more polite and accommodating. Set up the credit for when the return hit, invoiced the replacement insuring I still received the sale price, and lastly insured expedited shipping on the new order. All within about 5-10 minutes. Bravo James! Well done!

    T2 CHILLPROOF GLOVE Orange / L
    Dog walker with Raynauds (numb fingertips triggered by cold weather)

    Walking my Border Collie 7 days/week in all weather conditions has had inherent impact on the incidence and severity of attacks during cold weather. Hand warmers are great but fingertips are still prone to numbness/pain particularly when it’s windy or rainy. I have used my new gloves during rainy weather and have found them to be excellent in protecting my hands from the elements. The texture of the gloves enables me to pick up dog poo without having to remove my gloves. Poo bags are impossible to open up with normal gloves. I’m not sure yet whether the gloves actually warm up my hands, but I am very satisfied so far.
