Who wears the Rover short
The built-in mesh brief liner means the Rover works as a swim-to-street short, so it suits anyone bouncing between the water and land in the same afternoon, a beach walk, a boat ride, or a day of running around a South Florida marina without needing to change. The multiple zip pockets keep a phone, keys, and wallet secure through all of it.
Fit and care
The 4-way stretch micro ripstop moves with you, and the DWR water-resistant coating helps it shed light splashes, though it is a coating rather than a fully waterproof build, so treat it like a technical short and let it air dry between wears to keep the coating performing.
About Katin
Katin traces back to 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Raised along the California coast, Katin became a staple of Southern California surf culture and holds the title as one of the first brands to make surf trunks, still committed to high-quality, durable goods today.
