I always like multi-functional shorts. Especially those that I can wear for three seasons. Atlantic Drift released their Southport shorts, which they North Carolina company took quite a bit of time designing. These are quick-dry shorts with a little surprise when they get wet (the fabric shows camo when they are wet – see the action shots here).
I like these because they fit a need. I can wear them casually, wear them as a swimsuit, wear them to run or hike, or wear them to lounge. The inseam is a comfortable 7.5″, so your knees will see the light of day. The half-moon pockets are good for hauling anything and up to a couple beers…
With a couple more months of pool/beach/lake weather, get these in the arsenal. Not only are they good around the water, but for all activities around the water as well. Available in blue and red, they are ready to rock.
You like these better than those offered by Coast? I have a pair of the Coast version and was going to get another but may try these. I will say I like the 6.5″ inseam better that Coast offers.
