Vissla Ecology Center Ecolastic Short
The Vissla Ecology Center 16.5" Ecolastic-MUL Short is built for surfers who want the pull-on ease of an elastic waist without giving up the performance fit of a true boardshort. At 16.5 inches in length, it sits above the knee for unrestricted paddling and pop-up movement while still offering solid coverage in the water and on the beach.
Ecolastic Construction
The Ecolastic name on the waistband tells you this short is part of Vissla's sustainability-forward fabric program. Vissla's Ecolastic shorts are made with a stretch-oriented fabric designed for water performance and quick dry. The fully elastic waistband with an interior printed Vissla logo tape and exterior drawstring cinches to a personalized fit with no hardware to dig in during a long session. A woven Vissla badge patch at the hip thigh completes the build.
Ecology Center Collection
The Ecology Center line is Vissla's design platform for celebrating surf culture through art. This short features an allover printed graphic inspired by surf and tropical motifs arranged in a bold checkerboard block layout. The print reflects Vissla's core creative identity as a brand built by surfers and artists who document the culture around the sport.
Fit and Versatility
The elastic waist construction makes this short genuinely dual-purpose. It transitions from a surf session to a beach hangout without needing a change. The 16.5" outseam length is purpose-cut to keep fabric out of the way during surfing while still being appropriate for everyday beach and casual wear. The stretch fabric moves with the body rather than against it.
