"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore these on a surf trip down the coast and the quick-dry fabric meant I was never stuck in a damp pair between sessions. The zippered back pocket kept my key safe through every wave.""Beach days move fast, and the Metric E-Waist 8in Short keeps up without ever slowing you down. The stretchy e-waist and tie front closure mean you're in the water within seconds of arriving, whether that's a morning surf session or an afternoon splashing around with friends. Quick-dry, UPF 50+ fabric handles sun and saltwater equally well, while the secure back welt pocket with YKK zipper and interior key loop keeps essentials from disappearing into the sand. A vintage wash pattern rounds things out with a nostalgic, retro feel."
