The Gambit is a pair of shorts that can be used for any paddlesport, or even for a stroll in town. With its soft e.prene liner and lace-tightening system, those shorts are super comfortable to wear, they dry fast, and they can keep you warm on those chilly summer days or when paddling in cold water.
