An Eco-Conscious Quiksilver Boardshort
The Quiksilver Made Better Short is an 18.5 inch Amphibian boardshort built around recycled fabric and a waste-reducing pattern, so if you have been looking for Quiksilver made better shorts that do double duty in and out of the water, this is the pair to check out.
What It Is Made Of
- Eco-conscious fabric: Recycled Polyester Fabric
- Waist: Elastic Waist
- Closure: Pullover Closure
- Pockets: Side Pockets and Back Pockets
- Composition: 100% Recycled Polyester
The comfy elastic waistband and drawcord keep the fit secure without a bulky button closure, and the side and back pockets give you a place to stash a key or a card on the way to the beach.
Who Wears This Short
This short is built for anyone in South Florida who splits time between the water and dry land, whether that means paddling out for a surf session, riding along on a boat trip, or just spending the afternoon at the beach. The pullover, elastic waist design makes it easy to pull on quickly after a swim, and the recycled polyester dries out faster than heavier fabrics so you are not stuck sitting in a wet short all day.
Care and Everyday Use
Rinse the recycled polyester fabric after saltwater or chlorine exposure to keep the material and the elastic waistband in good shape, then machine wash cold and hang to dry rather than using high heat, which can break down synthetic fibers over time. Keeping the drawcord loosely tied while washing helps it hold its shape.
The Quiksilver Name
Quiksilver's clothing lines reminds us of those sun-drenched summer days on the beach, watching the surf come in while hanging out with friends. The brand's boardshorts keep that laid-back, comfortable design while still being built for the hardcore surfer's pursuits, and the Made Better line adds a purpose-driven, eco-conscious angle to that same heritage.
