The BARE Men's ExoWear Shorts deliver maximum core and upper-leg thermal protection in a 100% neutrally buoyant exposure garment. Engineered for multi-sport versatility—including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and surfing—these shorts offer heavy-duty warmth without requiring extra lead weights. Proven in controlled lab testing to slow thermal loss by up to 36% at 1 ATM of pressure, they combine heat-reflecting OMNIRED® Infrared Technology with a windproof 3-layer protective shell.
Innovative 3-Layer & 4-Way Stretch Performance
Whether you are submerged underwater or facing chilly winds on top of a board, ExoWear's advanced 3-Layer fabric system shields your body while providing full 4-way stretch elasticity for uninhibited movement:
- 1. Outer Layer: UV-resistant shell with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds water rapidly, absorbs less moisture, and speeds up drying time.
- 2. Windproof Membrane: Highly breathable layer that blocks wind chill above water and helps regulate core body temperature during high-exertion paddling.
- 3. Inner Fleece with OMNIRED®: Lined with 13 thermo-reactive minerals that convert escaping body heat into infrared thermal energy, reflecting warmth back to your legs while offering anti-microbial and hydrophobic odor resistance.
Key Features and Benefits
- Neutrally Buoyant Construction: Adds zero positive buoyancy to your dive system—no adjustments to your weighting required.
- 2mm ELASTEK Waist & Leg Bands: High-cut waist and snug leg bands made of 2mm full-stretch ELASTEK neoprene keep the shorts firmly in place and prevent cold water flushing.
- Superior 4-Way Stretch: Provides significantly greater elasticity and breathability than conventional 2-way stretch thermal garments.
- Sewn-In Molded Closure: Features an embossed pattern for an easy, non-slip grip when adjusting with wet or gloved hands.
- Flat-Seam Construction: Dynamic flat seams ensure maximum stretch and eliminate chafing during active movement or when layered under a wetsuit.
- Modular & Layerable: Wear as a standalone garment in warm waters or pair with an ExoWear Top, Vest, or Jacket for custom, modular coverage.
- Eco-Conscious Packaging: Packaged in a recyclable cardboard box.
