Why We Like the Backcast III 8in Water Short

For days spent in and out of the water by the river or at the swimming hole, the Backcast III 8in Water Short is our go-to for quick-drying performance and cool comfort. And because its designed to look like more like regular short than swimwear, we'll also sport these on summer hikes or relaxed trips into town.

Excellent Multi-Use Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shorts for use when you might get wet or planning on getting wet but need to have something on that dires quickly.
