Vaikobi V-Dry-X Grand Prix Shorts

Designed and tested by Vaikobi’s team of international professional sailors competing on the global circuit, the V-DRY-X Range represents the highest level of performance for Grand Prix sailing. The Vaikobi V-DRY-X Grand Prix Race Short is engineered for coastal sailing and active marine sports where comfort, dryness and mobility are essential.

Constructed with a 15k waterproof and breathable membrane, these sailing shorts provide effective protection from spray and wet conditions while allowing heat and moisture to escape during active use. Microbonded waterproof seams reduce bulk and weight while maintaining full waterproof integrity, delivering a flexible and lightweight feel on the water.

Smart detailing supports performance in seated and active positions. Top thigh pocket placement allows easy access to essentials while seated, making the Race Short well suited to both sailors and paddlers. Waterproof YKK zippered pockets keep valuables secure and dry, while a water-resistant YKK Vislon front fly zipper provides durable, corrosion-free performance in marine environments.

Waist adjustment tabs allow quick and precise fit tuning for comfort and unrestricted movement. Finished with an eco-friendly PFA-free C0 DWR coating, the V-DRY-X Grand Prix Race Short sheds water efficiently without harmful chemicals. Lightweight, durable and purpose-built, these shorts deliver professional-grade performance for coastal sailing and high-activity marine use.

Fit Tips

If one of your body measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

How To Measure

WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
HIPS: Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
CHEST: Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
