Katin HABITAT VOLLEY Short
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A lightweight volley short built for stretch and drainage
The Katin Habitat Volley short is built from a 4-way stretch fabric made from recycled polyester, finished with an abstract design that adds contrast to a lightweight, breathable short made for real movement in and out of the water.
What the Habitat Volley is built from
- 90% Recycled Polyester, 10% Spandex 4-Way Stretch
- 17 inch outseam
- Elastic waistband
- Custom Katin drawcord with rubber aglets
- Front slash pockets with mesh drainage
- Back patch pocket with velcro closure
- Supportive soft mesh liner brief
The 90 percent recycled polyester and 10 percent spandex blend is what gives this short its 4-way stretch, and the mesh drainage in the front pockets combined with the soft mesh liner brief is what lets it move directly from the water into everyday wear without staying waterlogged.
Who it is for
The Habitat Volley suits anyone who wants a short that keeps up through paddling, swimming, and general beach or boat activity without restriction. The 4-way stretch fabric and elastic waistband with the custom drawcord keep the fit secure through movement, while the velcro closed back patch pocket adds a place to stash something small during dry moments.
Wear and care
Because the liner brief is built in, this short can be worn on its own in the water. Rinse it after saltwater or chlorine exposure to protect the recycled fabric and the rubber aglets on the drawcord, and let it air dry so the mesh drainage pockets and liner fully dry out between wears.
Katin, since 1954
Katin was founded in 1954 when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Raised along the California coast, the brand became a staple of Southern California surf culture and holds the title of one of California's first labels to make surf trunks, a legacy that shows up directly in stretch volley shorts like the Habitat.
