Roark Serrano 7" Active Stretch Shorts
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A stretch short built for the Serrano lineup
The Roark Serrano 7 Active Stretch Shorts pair a lightweight REPREVE recycled polyester build with a DWR water resistant finish, giving this short the stretch and quick recovery of a training piece with the clean look of a daily short. Roark designed the Serrano to move from a trail run or a morning workout straight into a walk to the coffee shop without a wardrobe change, and that dual purpose is the whole point of the design.
Materials and construction
- Lightweight REPREVE recycled polyester with a DWR water resistant finish
- Unlined construction for ultimate versatility
- 7 inch inseam with an elastic waistband and external drawstring
- Two slash pockets, a side zip pocket, and a rear patch pocket with a YKK zipper closure
- Fabric blend of 50% recycled polyester, 40% polyester, and 10% elastane
Who it is for
This short suits anyone in South Florida who needs one pair of shorts to cover a lot of ground in a single day, a paddle out before work, a bike ride to the dock, or an afternoon on the boat. The unlined build and DWR finish mean a quick splash or a sweaty run does not turn into a slow, clingy dry off, and the secure zip pocket is the kind of detail that matters when you are carrying a key or a phone away from the water.
Wear and care
The elastic waistband and external drawstring let you dial in fit on the fly, which is useful when you are layering for a workout versus wearing the short on its own around town. Since the shell is a DWR treated recycled polyester and elastane blend, follow the garment care label for washing rather than treating it like a cotton short, and avoid high heat drying, which can break down the water resistant finish and the elastane stretch over time.
About Roark
Roark is built around the idea of a revival of bold adventurism, following an illusive traveling figure whose journey shows up across t-shirts, outerwear, bottoms, and accessories. The brand's line, including pieces like the Serrano, is meant to read as a timeless, ever changing story of independence rather than a single season's trend.
