Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Performance Built for Real Days in the Water
Searchers comparing Vissla boardshort sizing and reviews are usually looking for a trunk that moves with them, and the Vagabond 17.5 inch Boardshort is built exactly for that. It runs a performance grade assembly in 4-way stretch recycled poly repreve, upcycled coconut fibers, and cotton, so it is lightweight, maneuverable, and quick to dry between sets or between boat stops.
The Details That Matter
The fabric blend is 36% polyester from coconut, 34% recycled polyester, 20% cotton, and 10% spandex, using Vissla's Cocotex and Repreve materials with 4-way stretch and triple needle stitching for durability. It carries UPF 50 sun protection, a tethered waistband, HIGH IQ Repel finish, and Vissla's Signature Calipher Fly, with a back pocket and integrated key rope plus an embroidered Vissla patch at the side, in a 17.5 inch outseam length.
Who It Fits Into
This boardshort is built for anyone spending long stretches in and out of the water around South Florida, whether that is a surf session, a day on the boat, or just poolside. The stretch fabric and quick-dry construction mean it keeps up through paddling, wading, and long hours in the sun without weighing you down.
Wearing and Caring For It
Because this boardshort is engineered to dry quickly, a rinse in fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure and a hang dry will keep the recycled poly and coconut fiber blend performing and help the HIGH IQ Repel finish and UPF 50 protection last longer. The tethered waistband and triple needle stitching are built for regular water use, not just occasional wear.
The Vissla Story
Vissla is a company of creators and innovators building technical boardshorts, wetsuits, surf shirts, and everyday gear for the surf lifestyle. The Vagabond reflects that technical side of the brand, using upcycled coconut fiber and recycled poly to back its performance claims.
