What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve worn these for everything from spearfishing trips to backcountry boat hauls—they're bomber. The Cordura fabric holds up against rocks, fins, and tools, and the pockets are dialed for real-world use. Super secure fit, too, thanks to the full-wrap drawcord." From early dock launches to late-day reef sessions, the Florence F1 Cordura Utility Boardshort is built for the grind and everything after. Designed as the most functional short in the Florence lineup, it delivers rugged performance and streamlined utility in a silhouette that doesn’t compromise mobility. Constructed with 4-way stretch Cordura® nylon, these shorts are durable enough for serious wear-and-tear yet soft enough to keep us chafe-free on all-day missions. The triple-needle construction reinforces key seams, and a 360° silicone-tipped drawcord system locks in the fit—even in rough seas. With dual zippered slash pockets, a back patch pocket, and a dedicated plier pocket on the side, these shorts stay organized when the job—or the ocean—demands it.
