What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've been living in these all summer. They've got the soft, broken-in feel of pigment-dyed fabric and dry quick enough for water-to-town transitions. The 16-inch outseam and elastic waist hit that perfect balance between relaxed fit and modern style."We love a short that feels ready for anything, and the VA Pigment Elastic 16in Short from RVCA keeps up with every part of our warm-weather routine. Whether we're headed to the coast, hanging by the river, or just cruising around town, these trunks bring the perfect mix of laid-back style and versatile performance. The pigment-dyed look gives them a worn-in, vintage vibe straight out of the gate, while the soft recycled polyester blend with a touch of stretch keeps things light and mobile. The elastic waist with drawcord ensures a secure, comfortable fit, and the 16-inch outseam hits just right for all-day coverage without extra bulk. These are the kind of shorts we'll keep in constant rotation all season.
