Free Fly Palmera Boardshort x REEF for the water and beyond
The Free Fly Apparel Men's Palmera Boardshort, built in collaboration with REEF, combines elements of Free Fly's Dawn Patrol Boardshort and Palmera Trunk into one short designed for both paddling out and everything after. A full-circumference drawcord delivers a secure, locked-in feel, and a clean-finished outseam with no inseam means no chafing while you focus on the next set.
What it is made of
- Ultra-soft, quick-dry stretch woven fabric
- 37% Recycled Polyester / 36% Polyester / 19% Organic Cotton / 8% Elastane, plus a PFAS-free DWR finish
- 170 GSM fabric weight
- UPF 50+ sun protection
- 4-way stretch for full mobility
- Secure zippered back pocket for cash, cards, or keys
- Fixed waistband with full-circumference drawcord and a slightly tapered leg
Who it is built for
This boardshort suits surfers who need a secure, chafe-free fit for paddling and duck-diving, plus boaters and beachgoers who want a short that transitions from the water to the dock or the bar without a change of clothes. The zippered pocket makes it practical for anyone who needs to keep a key or cash on them during a beach day.
How to wear and care for it
The 4-way stretch and quick-dry fabric mean it moves with you in the water and dries fast once you are out, while the UPF 50+ rating adds sun protection during long days outside. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low to keep the fabric and DWR finish performing.
