ROARK HYBRO HYBRID SHORT
The Short That Goes Everywhere
The Roark Hybro Hybrid Short is built for the gap between a standard chino and a boardshort. When you need something that looks sharp enough for lunch but dries fast enough for the water, the Hybro closes that gap without compromise. Amphibious quick-dry hybrid fabric keeps up whether you end up soaked or dry.
Hybrid Fabric Construction
The Hybro is made from a 92% polyester, 8% elastane blend that delivers the clean drape of a structured short with genuine stretch and rapid dry time. The fabric moves with you and sheds water quickly, making it equally at home on the water and off it. The 17-inch outseam hits at a versatile mid-thigh length that reads casual without being beachwear.
Pockets and Hardware
Roark engineered the Hybro with a full pocket layout built around real use. Mesh-lined front pockets drain fast after water exposure. A hidden zippered pocket on the back right secures valuables. A dedicated cell stash back pocket keeps your phone accessible without the bulk of a zipper. The belt-loop waistband accommodates a belt for more formal settings and includes a removable drawcord for a dialed fit when you need it.
The Roark Ethos
Roark is built around the spirit of bold adventure and independence. Every piece in the line carries a sense of stories earned on the road, on the water, and everywhere in between. The Hybro is no exception: it is a piece designed to move between environments without asking you to change.
