Guide Paddle Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These shorts are my go-to for paddling, guiding, and anything water-related. The nylon fabric is super tough and dries quickly, so I stay comfortable all day. I love the zippered side pocket—it’s small but perfect for securing my keys or chapstick. The gusseted crotch gives me the freedom to move, and the carabiner grommet makes it easy to hang them up to dry. Whether I’m working on the river or just out for a paddle, these shorts can handle it all."

When we spend our days on the river, we need gear that can keep up. The Guide Paddle Short from Immersion Research is built for the demands of paddling, guiding, and water-based adventures. Designed with durable, abrasion-resistant nylon, these shorts can take a beating while drying quickly for all-day comfort.

A drawstring waist and hook-and-loop fly provide a secure, adjustable fit, while the gusseted crotch ensures unrestricted movement when we’re paddling hard or hopping in and out of the raft. A zippered side pocket keeps small essentials secure, and the built-in carabiner grommet makes it easy to clip them to our gear or hang them to dry. Whether we’re tackling whitewater, guiding trips, or just enjoying a day on the water, these shorts are ready for the ride.
