What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took the Sidewinder 17. 5in Boardshort out for a full morning session, and the 4-way stretch made it feel more like a second skin than a boardshort. The tethered waistband kept everything locked in on bigger sets, and the coconut fiber blend dries so fast I was comfortable the second I hit the sand."The Sidewinder 17. 5in Boardshort is built for the kind of session that starts at dawn and ends whenever the waves say so. Vissla blended recycled Repreve polyester with coconut-derived Cocotex fibers and spandex to create something that moves without restriction and dries almost the moment you step out of the water. Whether you're pulling into a barrel or just cruising the break, the 4-way stretch construction keeps up with every twist and pop without binding or bunching. The details earn their keep, too. The HIGH IQ Repel finish sheds water fast, the tethered waistband and Signature Calipher Fly keep things dialed in no matter how heavy it gets out there, and the back pocket with integrated key rope means your essentials stay put from the car to the water and back again. Triple needle stitching and soft thread construction hold everything together through a long season of hard use.
