Technical Shorts
£225.00
The Technical Shorts are purpose-built for divers who prefer wetsuits but need the storage and functionality typically found on technical diving gear. Designed to be worn comfortably over a wetsuit, these rugged diving shorts feature large, fast-draining cargo pockets, reinforced high-wear areas, and a secure waistband that stays firmly in place both underwater and on land.
With durable recycled materials, practical storage solutions, and a comfortable low-profile design, these shorts are ideal for recreational, technical, and adventure divers who need reliable pocket space without compromising mobility.
Description
The Technical Shorts are designed for divers who require additional storage and utility while diving in a wetsuit. Whether carrying wetnotes, reels, backup equipment, slates, or accessories, these shorts provide a practical solution without the need for a drysuit.
Constructed to withstand demanding diving environments, the shorts feature reinforced seat and crotch panels made with durable Supratex fabric incorporating recycled polyester. These high-wear zones are built to handle repeated contact with boats, rocks, ladders, and dive equipment while maintaining comfort and flexibility.
The standout feature is the pair of generously sized cargo pockets, designed using the same proven concept found on Argonaut drysuit pockets. Built with durable Cordura® fabric, each pocket includes a dedicated wetnotes sleeve and internal bungee attachment loops, allowing divers to organize and secure essential equipment. Integrated mesh drainage panels at the bottom of the pockets help water exit quickly, reducing drag and improving comfort during and after the dive.
A wide adjustable waistband provides a secure fit while distributing pressure comfortably around the waist. The low-profile buckle is offset for comfort and reduced interference with harness systems or weight belts. An internal anti-slip mesh lining helps keep the shorts securely positioned, whether swimming underwater, entering the water from shore, or hiking to remote dive sites.
Designed for both recreational and technical diving applications, these versatile shorts provide convenient storage, durability, and comfort for divers who demand practical functionality from their equipment.
