There's so much to do during the summer, from outdoor activities to nights on the town, and the SPUDS DIA Short is a single piece of performance apparel that aims to cover everything. The multi-purpose shorts have durable features that make them great for working out, but they're comfortable and stylish enough to be worn when going out too.
Mens' shorts tend to be specialized. There are loose basketball shorts and gym shorts for exercising, and then there are relatively restricting belt-loop shorts that are meant to be more stylish. The SPUDS DIA (which is short for Do-It-All) combines the best features of both. They're made with Power Weave Fabric, a proprietary material that offers 360-degree stretch. The shorts also have durable water-repellant coating, anti-bacterial integrations, sweat-wicking properties, and a zipper-sealed media pocket to make working out comfortable and convenient. But despite all those functional properties, the shorts have a slim, tailored look that avoids the baggy -- frankly shlubby -- look that befalls many other shorts. In all, men will be comfortable throwing on their SPUDS DIA Shorts in the morning and seeing where the day and night takes them.
SPUDS, which is based out of California, started with a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, and the company's brought its learnings from that crowdsourced environment into the DIA. The new shorts are now available in three colors at SPUDS' website.
