Quiksilver Taxer Heather M Short

An amphibian boardshort built for water and land

For shoppers browsing quiksilver boardshorts men who want one pair that works in and out of the water, the Taxer Heather Amphibian Boardshorts are built for exactly that kind of fun, combining an 18 inch outseam with an elastic waist for all-day comfort.

Fabric and construction

These boardshorts are made from an eco-conscious 4-way stretch recycled polyester heather fabric, finished with a DryFlight water-repellent hydrophobic coating for quicker drying. They have an 18 inch outseam, an elastic waist, side-entry pockets, back zip pockets, and a fixed closure. Composition is 57% recycled polyester, 34% polyester, and 9% elastane, a blend built to move with the body rather than restrict it.

Who they are for

The amphibian design and elastic waist make these a fit for anyone who wants a boardshort that moves easily from swimming to walking around afterward, useful for a South Florida day split between the water and the boat, dock, or beach. The elastic waist paired with the fixed closure gives a more forgiving fit than a straight drawcord-only waist, which suits an active day where you are moving in and out of the water repeatedly.

• Eco-conscious 4-way stretch recycled polyester heather fabric
• DryFlight water-repellent hydrophobic coating
• Back zip pockets to secure small items
• Side-entry pockets and an elastic waist with fixed closure

Wear and care

Rinse the shorts in fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure to protect the DryFlight coating and stretch recovery, use the back zip pockets to keep small essentials secure while active, and air dry rather than machine drying on high heat to preserve the fabric's finish. The elastic waist and 4-way stretch fabric should be given room to relax between wears rather than stored balled up, to help them keep their recovery over time.
