The Glades Swim Short From Chubbies
Shoppers searching for Chubbies The Glades shorts are usually after one thing, a swim short that moves from sandy shores to scorching pool decks without slowing anyone down. The Glades 5.5in Short is built with an ultra stretchy, quick-drying shell and a liner choice, so it stays comfortable whether the waves are firing or the pool deck is packed.
Built for Movement and Sun
The elastic waistband and built-in drawstring keep the fit secure without a belt, while 4-way stretch fabric lets you paddle, squat and dive without the short fighting back. Mesh side pockets and a zippered back pocket give you somewhere to stash a key or a card without losing it in the shorebreak, and UPF 50+ protection covers your skin on long days outside.

Who Wears The Glades
This is a men's short built for South Florida's actual routine, straight from the truck to the beach, from the boat to the tiki bar, or from the pool to dinner without a wardrobe change. The 5.5 inch inseam keeps it short enough for paddling and swimming without feeling restrictive.
Wearing and Caring for It
Because the shell is quick-drying, you can rinse off saltwater or chlorine and be dry again before you are back at the car. Use the zipper back pocket for anything you need to keep secure while you are in the water, and the mesh side pockets for quick-access items like sunglasses or a phone when you step out of the surf.
Chubbies, Built for the Water and the Deck
Chubbies designs its shorts around the same idea across its Elastic Shorts line, ultra stretchy swim shorts with a quick-drying shell built to handle sun, sand and pool time in one piece of gear.
