Paddling has a tendency to wreck your shorts. Rather than trashing your trunks at the end of every adventure, snag the Kavu Big Eddy Shorts. DWR-coated nylon resist sand, salt, sun, and mildew and can handle more than a handful of float trips. These river shorts dry quickly at the take-out and look presentable in town. Kavu designed them with an elastic waistband that won't dig into your gut.
