Patagonia: Men's Marlwalker Shorts

Soggy shorts are the last thing you need on the beach. Or the flats. Or anywhere, for that matter. That's the thinking behind Patagonia's new Marlwalker Shorts. The ultra-fast drying nylon 6 ripstop (61% recycled) fabric resists water absorption, prevents chafing and is fully recyclable. High tear strength means the Marlwalkers stand up to years of pounding surf, abrasive jetty rock and the occasional shore crab. Streamlined, flapless, zippered pockets are self-draining and won't grab fly lines. Surf-inspired design includes simple string-tie closure and 3-button fly.
