O'NEILL RESERVE LIGHT CHECK EW 16''

A checked short built for everyday wear

Shoppers looking up the O'Neill Reserve Light Check EW are usually comparing O'Neill's Reserve short lineup, and this is the 16 inch outseam version in a light check pattern, sized for boys. It reads as a hybrid short, at home whether the day is spent at the beach, on the water, or just running around.

What this short offers

The 16 inch outseam gives it a shorter, kid-friendly length that stays out of the way during active play. It carries the O'Neill name across the pattern and cut, built with the same surf brand background as the rest of O'Neill's short lineup.

Who this short is for

The shorter outseam and check pattern make it a versatile pick for boys who need one short that can handle a South Florida beach day, a boat trip, or everyday play without a change of clothes in between. It is built to move easily whether a kid is in the water or on land.

Wear and care

If this short is worn in the water, treating it like swimwear, rinsing in fresh water afterward and air drying, will help the pattern and fabric hold up longer than if it is left to dry in the sun on its own. For everyday wear, a regular cold wash is enough to keep the check pattern from fading.

About O'Neill

O'Neill describes itself as the original California surf lifestyle brand, with roots going back to 1952 and a lineup built around boardshorts and surf gear. The Reserve line carries that same surf background into a hybrid, everyday short.

Why buy it from Island Water Sports
