O'Neill Hermosa EW 17
The O'Neill Hermosa EW 17 is O'Neill's elastic waist take on the classic volley boardshort, built for anyone who wants to pull on a pair of trunks and go without messing with a fly or a belt. Shoppers searching for an O'Neill elastic waist hybrid style land here for exactly that convenience, and the 17 inch outseam keeps the fit sitting at the thigh.
What It's Made Of
The short is cut from a 90% polyester, 10% elastane fabric that O'Neill calls Hyperfreak stretch, paired with the brand's Hyperdry finish. Repreve recycled materials are worked into the fabric itself, so the polyester content is not entirely virgin material. An elastic waistband with a tunnel drawcord replaces a traditional button fly, and side hand pockets are built in for small items.

Who Should Wear This
This style suits anyone in South Florida who bounces between the water and dry land in the same afternoon, whether that's a morning surf check, an afternoon on a friend's boat, or just running errands in the heat. The elastic waist means you do not have to know your exact waist measurement to get a comfortable fit, and the drawcord lets you tighten it further once it's on.
Getting the Most from It
Slip it on and use the tunnel drawcord to snug the waist to where it sits comfortably; the pull-on design means there's no fly to line up. After time in salt or chlorinated water, rinse in fresh water and hang to dry rather than machine drying on high heat, which helps the stretch fabric and drawcord keep their shape wear after wear.
The O'Neill Name
O'Neill positions itself as the original California surf lifestyle brand, with roots going back to 1952, and the Hermosa EW sits inside that long-running boardshort catalog.
