Do you know the problem of not being able to commit to just one sport? Kayaking, climbing, biking, hiking... and a bit of relaxing isn't bad either, right? And then you need different gear for every sport... but with the Hiko Gambit V.2, that's over!
These shorts are multifunctional — they come with an outer short and an inner short that can be separated. So you essentially have a 3-in-1 sports and leisure short.
The Inner Short
Like its predecessor, the Hiko Gambit V.2 Combo Shorts feature a quick-drying neoprene inner. It's super stretchy and, thanks to a nylon coating, sits softly against the skin. The inner short is cut higher at the lower back for extra cold protection when seated. Another plus: the inner short is long enough to cover the knees, giving you extra padding when sitting in the boat or carrying and scrambling over rocks.
The Outer Short
For the perfect mix of stretch and durability, recycled REEF neoprene material is used. This lets you sit comfortably in the boat, walk to the put-in, pedal up the hill on a bike, or pop out for an ice cream.
Two zip pockets on the front let you stow small items — your energy bar is always within reach.
Here are 5 more points that fully convinced us:
1. Clever eyelet-cord system connects inner and outer shorts — but also allows wearing each separately
2. Carbon-free DWR material — no harmful chemicals contaminating our waterways
3. 3/4 neoprene inner warms and protects
4. Style! The V.2 also looks mega cool
5. Made in the EU (Czech Republic)
