The Volley, Modernized
The Outerknown Nomadic Volley takes the classic volley silhouette and sharpens it for how you actually live. A slightly shorter cut and a relaxed fit bring it into the present without losing what made the original great: easy, all-day wearability that moves from the water straight to wherever the day leads.
Built from durable recycled polyester twill with quick-dry technology, the Nomadic Volley sheds water fast so you spend more time moving and less time waiting to feel comfortable. An elastic waistband with a drawstring means no belts, no fuss, and a pull-on fit that stays put.
Features
- Recycled polyester twill construction with quick-dry performance
- Slightly shorter modern volley cut with a relaxed fit
- Elastic waistband with adjustable drawstring
- Front side seam pockets for easy access
- Secure back zip pocket for valuables
- Pull-on design, no button or fly hardware
Sustainable by Design
Outerknown builds the Nomadic Volley from recycled polyester, diverting post-consumer plastic bottles, fishing nets, and used textiles from landfills. The environmental trade-off is zero performance compromise: the recycled twill is just as durable and quick-drying as virgin material, so the choice to buy sustainable is also the choice to buy better.
Versatility from Beach to Street
The Nomadic Volley is not a board short that tolerates a walk to lunch. It is genuinely designed for both. The clean construction, refined length, and understated Outerknown branding make it equally at home off the water as on it. Shop the Nomadic Volley in store and online at Island Water Sports.
