An amphibian short for the water and everything after
Made for fun in and out of the water, the Quiksilver Taxer Heather Amphibian Short is built around eco-conscious fabric with loads of flex for superior mobility and DryFlight technology for hyper water repellency, which is exactly the combination shoppers are after when they search for quiksilver taxer amphibian shorts or quiksilver elastic waist shorts.
Materials and construction
- 4-way stretch recycled polyester blend fabric
- PFC free hydrophobic treatment for water repellency
- Straight leg fit with a classic comfort waistband
- 18 inch, short length outseam
- Side-entry pockets plus a back pocket with a water resistant auto lock zipper
- Fixed drawcord closure and a key bungee cord in the side pocket
- Iconic Mountain and Wave logo branding
- Composition of 92% recycled polyester and 8% elastane, made with recycled yarn
The classic comfort waistband and elastic construction are what put this in Quiksilver's Elastic Shorts category rather than a fixed-waist boardshort, making it easy to move between an active day in the water and sitting down for lunch afterward.
Who it is for
This short is built for the guy who hits the surf, cruises the streets, and makes it to work on time without ever missing a beat. The water resistant zippered back pocket is useful for a phone or wallet during errands, while the side-entry pockets and bungee cord keep smaller items secure while you are still wet from the water.
How to wear and care for it
Rinse the recycled polyester blend fabric with fresh water after a saltwater swim to protect the PFC free hydrophobic treatment, and avoid high heat drying since heat breaks down water repellent coatings over time. Zip the back pocket closed before any activity in the water so it stays water resistant when it matters.
Quiksilver's surf heritage
Quiksilver's clothing lines reminds us of those sun-drenched summer days on the beach, watching the surf come in while hanging out with favorite friends, and this recycled yarn, PFC free build shows the brand carrying that heritage forward with more sustainable materials.
