Katin OTG Venn Volley
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Every Activity, Ready to Pack Down
The Venn Volley is part of Katin's OTG (Out There Gear) collection, a line built for people who move between the water, the trail, and everything in between without changing clothes. The 94% nylon, 6% spandex construction delivers 4-way stretch that goes with you in every direction, while the fabric's moisture-wicking finish pulls sweat away and the quick-dry performance means you're not carrying water weight when you step out of the ocean. When the day is done, the entire short packs into its own back pocket.
UPF 50 Sun Protection
The nylon blend fabric carries a UPF 50 rating, blocking the vast majority of ultraviolet radiation on days when you're exposed and active. That protection is built into the fabric construction, not a coating that washes out over time, making the Venn Volley a practical choice for anyone logging serious hours in the sun.
Construction Details
Katin kept the silhouette functional and clean. Front slash pockets provide secure, low-profile storage. A reflective logo above the back zip pocket adds low-light visibility. The scalloped leg hem reduces chafe and gives the short a relaxed, active range of motion. An elastic waistband with a drawcord lets you dial the fit without a belt, moving comfortably from a paddle session to a lunch stop without adjustment.

About Katin
In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. From that surf-adjacent start the brand grew into California's first maker of surf trunks, and it has kept its commitment to high-quality, durable goods ever since. The OTG collection is a natural extension of that ethos: gear built to hold up wherever you take it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Katin OTG collection?
- OTG stands for Out There Gear. It is Katin's performance line designed for active use across multiple environments, from water to trail, combining technical fabrics with practical features like packability and UPF protection.
- Are the Katin OTG Venn Volley shorts good for swimming?
- Yes. The quick-dry nylon blend and 4-way stretch make the Venn Volley well suited for in and out of the water use. The elastic waistband and scalloped hem support full range of motion whether you are paddling, surfing, or swimming.
- What does UPF 50 mean on the Venn Volley?
- UPF 50 means the fabric blocks the great majority of ultraviolet radiation from reaching your skin. On the Venn Volley this protection is woven into the nylon construction rather than applied as a surface treatment, so it holds up through repeated use and washing.
- Can the Katin OTG Venn Volley be packed down for travel?
- Yes. The Venn Volley packs into its own back zip pocket, making it compact enough to slip into a bag or backpack without taking up much space.
- What is the outseam length of the Katin OTG Venn Volley?
- The outseam measures 17 inches, placing the hem above the knee for a versatile length that works equally well for water sports and everyday wear.
- How do I care for the Katin OTG Venn Volley?
- Care instructions are on the garment label. As a general guide for nylon/spandex performance shorts: machine wash cold, avoid high heat in the dryer, and do not bleach to preserve the fabric's stretch and UPF properties.
