"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I like these for long days on the water when sun protection and quick-dry performance matter most. The nylon fabric dries fast after splashes, and the Omni-Shade™ UPF 50 adds serious coverage in bright conditions. The mesh brief liner boosts comfort, and the pockets are handy for small essentials.""

Lightweight and built for movement, these shorts are ready for active days near the water. Omni-Shade™ UPF 50 technology helps guard against harmful UVA and UVB rays, while Omni-Shield™ repels moisture and resists stains to keep them looking fresh. The quick-drying nylon fabric sheds water fast, and the interior mesh brief enhances breathability and support. Finished with functional hand pockets for small essentials, these shorts are built for sun-soaked fishing adventures and everyday play."
