"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Horizon 8-inch shorts are the perfect in-between—long enough for everyday wear but still ready to jump in the water at a moment’s notice. The ripstop fabric is tough but comfortable, and the pockets are smartly placed for fishing or travel. They’re my go-to summer adventure shorts."" Built for days that start on dry land and end waist-deep in the water, the Howler Brothers Horizon 8in Walk Short combines rugged performance with easy, everyday style. Crafted from quick-drying nylon ripstop, these shorts hold up to rough use, saltwater, and long days in the sun. A front zip stash pocket keeps small items secure, while the reinforced pliers pocket and self-draining mesh pocket bags make them ideal for fishing and paddling. The updated trims and closures give this classic a more refined, streamlined look, while the 8-inch inseam strikes the perfect balance between coverage and mobility. From casting lines to beach hikes and backyard hangs, the Horizon 8in Walk Short is built for life between elements."
