High Side Short - Men's

A DWR Finish, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when you're out fishing or engaging in other outdoor activities, water will bead up and roll off the fabric instead of soaking in. This helps keep you dry and comfortable, even in wet conditions.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which measures how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. A UPF rating of 50+ blocks at least 98% of UV rays, providing excellent sun protection. This is crucial for outdoor activities, as it helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage while you enjoy your time outside.

High abrasion resistance fabric is designed to withstand wear and tear from friction, making it ideal for activities like fishing where you may encounter rough environments. This type of fabric helps ensure that your shorts last longer without getting damaged, even when subjected to snagging or rubbing against equipment.

The elastic waist allows for a comfortable, flexible fit that can stretch with your movements, while the drawstring lets you adjust the tightness to your preference. This feature is particularly important during physical activities, as it ensures that your shorts stay securely in place, allowing you to focus on your adventure without worrying about your clothing.

The claimed weight of the shorts, which is 6.2 ounces, is important because lighter clothing can enhance your comfort and mobility during outdoor activities. When packing for a trip, lighter shorts are easier to carry and can help reduce overall fatigue, allowing you to enjoy your time outdoors more fully.

While a DWR Finish provides excellent water resistance for light to moderate rain, it is not completely waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water, it’s advisable to wear additional waterproof gear. However, the DWR treatment will help keep you drier for longer, making it a great choice for unpredictable weather during outdoor activities.
