Wavefarer 19in Boardshort - Men's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special treatment applied to the fabric of your board shorts. This coating causes water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in, keeping you dry during water activities like surfing. It enhances your comfort and performance by preventing the shorts from becoming heavy and waterlogged.

A relaxed fit means that the board shorts are designed to be loose and comfortable, allowing for greater freedom of movement. This is especially important for activities like surfing, where flexibility is key. You can enjoy your time in the water without feeling restricted by tight clothing.

The inseam measurement indicates the length of the shorts from the inner thigh to the bottom hem. For example, a 19-inch inseam provides a specific length that can affect how the shorts fit and look on you. Choosing the right inseam ensures that your shorts are comfortable and appropriate for your height and style preference.

A double-lace drawstring features two laces that you can pull to tighten the waistband of your board shorts. This design ensures a secure fit, which is crucial during activities like surfing where you want your shorts to stay in place. It allows for easy adjustments, giving you confidence while you ride the waves.

Board shorts made from recycled nylon are created from repurposed materials, such as discarded fishing nets. Choosing these shorts not only helps reduce waste but also supports eco-friendly practices. By opting for recycled materials, you contribute to a more sustainable future while enjoying high-quality, durable swimwear.

The DWR coating not only provides water resistance but also helps protect the fabric from stains and wear. This treatment can extend the life of your board shorts by keeping them looking new and functional for longer, making them a smart investment for your water sports wardrobe.
