Fabric is the same as for boardshorts, just as durable, quick dry, easy to wash, stain resistant, dryer safe. The better ones feature fast-drying Supreme Suede fabric for optimal comfort at the beach or on the lake.

Enjoy your board pants for windsurfing, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, volleyball, travelling (they pack super light and small), and of course for swimming or hanging poolside.

There's no better way to ward off cabin chill on an airplane or stay warm at the beach once the sun goes down. These fast-drying brushed microfiber pants are the ideal traveling companion and will roll up nicely in your pack for wrinkle-free leg covering when you need it.

Board pants are made of super soft and durable Microfiber (boardshort material), a stain resistant, quick dry material which comes out of the dryer looking like new. Fabric is the same as for most shorts and they fit like standard surf shorts. Side velcro pockets are big enough for your wallet and keys, Some have velcro ankle closures.

Kite pants are made from quick dry durable fabric to protect your wetsuit. They are more robust than regular shorts and should last longer, thus justify the higher price.

Features

Some are made of 100% Nycott fabric which is amazingly fast drying and durable. When they get wet they'll be dry long before any swimming suit.

The better ones have dual front pockets with a mesh lining for fast venting and even faster draining. A soft, built-in mesh lining (or brief) eliminates the discomfort of cold, damp underwear.

The quick-drying fabric pulls sweat away from your skin to evaporate on the surface keeping you drier and warmer during high aerobic activity. Brush off the water from a drizzle or squeeze garment out after a sudden downpour and it's as good as dry.

Cargo pants are quite versatile and stand up well to hard use and wet weather. They have been a street fashion favourite for years, conveying youthful rebellion and unabashed androgyny.
