The Roark Passage Boatman Boardshorts are an adventure-ready garment for outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for a better way to maintain comfort when enjoying time in the wilderness. Coming in black or military color options, the shorts feature a four-way stretch along with a non-stretch Nylon Supplex panel in the back and through the waistband to support the structure of the garment.
The shorts were field-tested on the beaches of Hong Kong to ensure they are ready for any trip or excursion that involves time in and out of the water. The quick-dry design of the Roark Passage Boatman Boardshorts allow them to dissipate moisture as quickly as possible to eliminate the need to change into a different outfit after coming in from the water.
