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.

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.
- Solar Powered
We are pleased to announce Sharkskin’s new building is 100% solar powered. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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.
