When shorts leave your legs feeling the chill, the NRS Men’s HydroSkin 1.5mm Neoprene Trousers bring extra warmth while keeping you moving comfortably. Designed for paddling, they combine flexible neoprene with a close fit that works whether you’re standing on a paddleboard, kneeling to steady yourself or sitting in a kayak.
They’re a useful option if you prefer separate trousers and a top, giving you more flexibility to choose your paddling clothing around the conditions.
Warmth without a bulky feel
The 1.5mm Terraprene™ neoprene provides insulation, while a titanium-containing laminate adhesive helps reflect body heat back towards you. The close fit limits water moving through the trousers, helping that insulation do its job.
Outside, the stretchy nylon and spandex fabric is designed to retain less water. Inside, a soft, smooth finish feels comfortable against your skin.
A better fit for sitting, standing and paddling
Clothing needs to move with you on the water. The paddler-specific cut gives you room to bend and change position, while flat-lock seams help reduce rubbing as you move.
The raised waistband has extra coverage at the back, a detail you’ll appreciate when leaning forwards in a kayak or crouching on your board. A drawstring lets you adjust the waist for a secure fit.
Build your layers around the paddle
Pair these neoprene trousers with a HydroSkin top to put together a two-piece paddling outfit. You can choose your upper-body layer separately, making it easier to adapt your clothing as conditions change.
At SUP Funk, we’d pay particular attention to the fit: these should sit close to your body while still letting you squat, sit and paddle comfortably. A loose fit allows more water to move through, reducing the benefit of the neoprene.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these suitable for paddleboarding and kayaking?
Yes. The stretchy fabric and paddler-specific cut accommodate both standing and seated paddling. The raised back panel is particularly useful when you lean forwards in a kayak or bend down on your SUP.
Will the HydroSkin 1.5 trousers keep me dry?
No. These are insulating neoprene trousers, rather than waterproof dry trousers. Their close fit helps limit water entry and movement, but they are designed to provide warmth when wet rather than keep water out completely.
How tight should they feel?
They should fit snugly against your body without restricting your movement. You should be able to sit, squat and bend comfortably. Check the NRS size guide before choosing; sizing up for a baggy fit can allow more water to move through and reduce insulation.
Can I wear them directly against my skin?
Yes. The smooth interior is designed for next-to-skin comfort, and the flat-lock seams help reduce rubbing. They do not require a separate base layer underneath.
Do I need a matching HydroSkin top?
No, although they are designed to work with HydroSkin tops. Separate pieces let you choose your upper and lower layers independently. Make sure the complete outfit suits the water temperature and the conditions you expect.
Can these replace a full wetsuit?
They provide insulation for your lower body, so they do not offer the coverage of a full wetsuit on their own. They suit paddlers who want a separate top and trousers arrangement, but the right choice depends on the conditions and how much time you may spend in the water.
