Quiksilver Union Heather, an Amphibian Boardshort Built to Do Double Duty
Shoppers searching for the Quiksilver Union Heather Amphibian 20 boardshorts are looking for a hybrid short that moves between water and land, and that is exactly what this piece is built to do. The Union Heather 20 inch Amphibian Boardshort pairs a recycled stretch fabric with a water-repellent finish so it works as both a swim short and a regular short.
Materials and Construction
- Repreve traceable recycled heather 4-way stretch fabric, 92% polyester and 8% elastane
- Dryflight water-repellent hydrophobic coating
- 20 inch out seam
- Classic, comfortable regular fit
- Non-corrosive zip fly with button closure
- Side-entry pockets plus a back zip pocket for storing essentials
Who Wears This Short
This amphibian short suits anyone who wants one pair of shorts to cover the boat, the beach, and the rest of the day rather than changing out of wet swim trunks. The 4-way stretch fabric allows full range of motion for paddling, wakesurfing, or just walking the dock, and the side-entry and back zip pockets keep a wallet, keys, or phone secured while you move.
Care and Wear
Because the Dryflight coating is what gives this short its water-repellent quality, wash it as directed on the garment tag rather than with heavy detergents or fabric softener, which can break down water-repellent finishes over time. The non-corrosive zip fly is built to withstand repeated exposure to salt water and pool chemicals better than a standard metal zipper.
