What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I packed these for a warm coastal trip where the days started at the beach and ended with dinner outside. The cotton double cloth fabric feels really light and breathable, and the smocked waistband makes them easy to throw on over a swimsuit or with a tee when heading out."Some summer pieces earn a permanent place in the weekend lineup. The Marine Layer Cali Double Cloth Short fits that role perfectly, offering an easygoing style that moves effortlessly from beach mornings to afternoon errands and sunset dinners outside. Marine Layer builds these shorts from their signature Double Cloth fabric, a soft cotton weave with natural crinkle texture that keeps things breathable and comfortable on warm days. The lightweight fabric provides texture without becoming see-through, while the smocked waistband offers flexible comfort whether worn high on the waist or relaxed closer to the hips.
