A Quiksilver core style boardshort, updated with Hempstretch
The Quiksilver OG Arch Volley is a Quiksilver core style boardshort updated with the brand's eco-conscious Hempstretch fabric, a signature blend of hemp and recycled plastic bottles with 4-way stretch. It is one of the boardshorts people search for by name as the Quiksilver original arch style.
Fabric and construction
This boardshort uses a 4-way stretch fabric blend of recycled polyester, elastane and organic cotton, described by Quiksilver as Hempstretch. It carries a plant-based hydrophobic coating rather than a traditional chemical water-repellent treatment, along with a classic waistband, a fixed drawcord closure, side-entry pockets, a back pocket, and Quiksilver's signature key-loop. The outseam is 17 inches, a short length volley cut.
Who this boardshort is for
- Surfers who want a shorter 17 inch outseam volley style rather than a longer boardshort
- Anyone who prefers a fixed drawcord waist over an elastic waistband for a more secure fit in the water
- Beach and boat days in South Florida where a lightweight, quick-moving fabric matters
The side-entry pockets and back pocket with the signature key-loop mean you can carry a key or small essentials without adding bulk while paddling or riding waves.
Fit, wear and care
The classic waistband and fixed drawcord closure let you cinch the fit rather than relying on elastic alone, which is worth knowing if you are used to an elastic waist short. Because the fabric carries a plant-based hydrophobic treatment, it is built to shed water rather than soak it in, so it dries faster after a session than an untreated fabric would. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and hang to dry rather than machine drying on high heat to protect the coating and the 4-way stretch.
About Quiksilver
Quiksilver's clothing lines reflect sun-drenched summer days on the beach watching the surf come in with friends. While the brand's shirts, boardshorts and sandals have a laid-back, comfortable design, Quiksilver also builds clothing for the competitive side of the surf lifestyle, and the OG Arch Volley's Hempstretch fabric shows the brand's move toward more sustainable materials without losing that surf-ready performance.
