Because you don't just surf in your boardies, we made our Paddler Board Shorts comfortable enough to wear on a beach run and tough enough to survive a two-wave hold-down. They have a lightweight nylon outer fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and a smooth, loose-hanging recycled polyester liner. Reversed-out hem seams glide freely over skin, and the trunks have our flat-lying, heavy-duty webbing in the lace-up, rubber-button fly. The self-draining hip pocket has a key loop and a corrosion-proof plastic zipper pull. Inseam is 9"; outseam (size 32), 19". Minimize

We think of the Roving Cargo Shorts as being like tool chests in the shop - they hold everything we need for the day and we can bang them around to get the job done. They have a durable 100% nylon canvas fabric that resists abrasion, feels lightweight and supple, and provides 50+ UPF sun protection. A rear yoke shapes the fit, and a gusseted crotch lets you move freely when you're running to catch the last train out of Ollantaytambo. Offset belt loops and a low-profile snap closure stay smooth under harness and hip belt. Pockets include two front slash pockets and a rear drop-in pocket (all lined with breathable mesh) and two thigh cargo pockets for travel necessities. Inseam is 10". Minimize

We went all out to make sure our Stretch Wavefarers are as flexible as you need them to be. A moderate amount of spandex makes them stretch, but it's the addition of intuitive design features like bent side seams that elevate these board shorts from simply "stretchy" to truly functional. Lace-up rubber-button fly with heavy-duty webbing lies flat and an internal layer of nonstretch fabric in the contoured waistband prevents unwanted loosening when wet. Easy access self-draining side pocket with corrosion-proof zipper. 40-UPF sun protection. Outseam (size 32) is 21". Minimize

We make all our surf trunks chafe-proof, with a forward inseam at the crotch, so they perform just as well in the lineup as on the hike to that distant cove. Our tried-and-true Wavefarers have a contoured waistband, hit just below the knee to prevent wax rash and are built from a tough but lightweight, quick-drying 4.3-oz 100% nylon with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Details include a flat-lying single-button fly, an easy-access, self-draining side zip pocket with key loop. Inseam is 10"; outseam (size 32) is 21". Minimize

For those who view trails as their sanctuary, running means more than freedom of movement and lightness of being. Our versatile, pared-down, tough yet breathable Nine Trails Shorts are made from a lightweight blend of 75-denier 91% all-recycled polyester/9% spandex fabric with 4-way stretch and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The stitched-through pocket bags (two front drop-in, one back zippered with a key loop) stay put for secure storage. To help vent excess heat, keep you dry, and eliminate chafing, the crotch gusset and interior waistband use quick-drying Air Flow recycled polyester mesh fabric. The breathable, moisture-wicking, built-in liner is soft and extends into the interior waistband. A drawcord at the waist fine-tunes the fit. Inseam is 8". With reflective heat-transfer logo on front and back. Minimize

Everything we love about the Guidewater Pants, and less. The shorts version has all the same water-specific features, including a zippered side-leg pocket, mesh drainage on all pockets and a remarkably fast dry time that make these the fishing shorts of choice for anglers.

Which is to say, you may find yourself wearing 'em everywhere - we do. Made from lightweight, recyclable, woven nylon fabric with DWR (durable water repellent) finish and 50+ UPF sun protection.

The Rio Gallegos Waders are the toughest, most puncture-resistant waterproof/breathable wader on the planet. They combine the finest level of durability while offering a new level of comfort and convenience. In other words, the ultimate wader. We started by strategically placing varying weights of our proprietary waterproof/breathable polyester microfiber fabric package with H2No Hydrostorm barrier according to specific breathability or toughness needs. The result' Max durability and flexibility without resorting to excessive, heavy, sweat-trapping layers. Our revolutionary, merino wool grid-lined neoprene booties wick perspiration and create guilt-inducing levels of foot comfort. The 3mm neoprene maintains the warmth of 5 mm neoprene but with better breathability. Our innovative internal suspension system allows easy conversion to waist height and - this is critical - quick relief without having to remove your jacket or fight sticky zippers. Upper exterior glued-in, water-repellent zip pocket at chest provides ample storage for quick access to tippets, nippers and lip balm. An interior, clear-welded TPU pocket provides waterproof security for cell phone, camera and keys. More features: sculpted upper for reduced drag in heavy currents, anatomically curved knees (patent pending) with removable knee pads, built-in fabric gravel guards with abrasion-resistant scuff zones and high-filtration mesh drain strip, a quick-release DuraFlex Stealth-V buckle for an adjustable fit and, to avoid line catch, concealed, stainless steel, locking boot hooks. Exterior reinforcement tape on interior leg and crotch provides unsurpassed abrasion resistance where it's needed most. Field repair kit included. Minimize
