| The popularity of board shorts has gone way beyond the surfing crowd they were originally designed for. The features that make them great for sport are favorites everywhere, including the quick-drying but durable fabrics, the long narrow leg and the flat waistband. Not to mention all the great styles and designs available. You can board shorts in bright Hawaiian patterns, color blocks, trendy colors, plaids and stripes. Adding a pocket to all that style and function makes the board short ideal for everyone. On-seam hip pockets provide lots of space and blend neatly into cut of the board shorts. For an uninterrupted silhouette, cargo pockets are handy. Some pockets have velcro flaps to keep keys or other small items securely inside. There are also board short styles with zippered pockets, some lined with mesh so that water drains quickly. So many board short styles come with pockets that there's a style for everyone, from the old-school rigid waistband and mid-thigh length to longer lengths and drawstring waists. Regardless of taste, side or cargo pockets add a level of convenience that suits all--from surfer dudes to poolside loungers. |
