Men's Amphibian Boardshorts Built to Surf and Chill
The Quiksilver Neolithic Amphibian is a men's boardshort for anyone searching for a Quiksilver amphibian short that moves easily from the water to everywhere else. Quiksilver simply calls it the Neolithic Amphibian, a classic fit short built for regular use in and out of the water.
Fabric and Features
These shorts are made from a yarn-dyed 4-way stretch fabric finished with Quiksilver's Dryflight water-repellent hydrophobic coating, giving the fabric a composition of 50 percent nylon, 39 percent polyester, and 11 percent elastane. They have a 21 inch outseam that hits under the knee, a classic comfortable regular fit, a single button closure with a zip fly, front slash pockets, a front zip stash pocket, and double flat welt back pockets.
Who Wears It and Where
With a water-repellent hydrophobic coating and 4-way stretch, these shorts are built for exactly the kind of day South Florida delivers, in the water for a surf session, then straight onto a boat or into town without a change of clothes. The front zip stash pocket is a practical spot for keys or a wallet while the back welt pockets and slash pockets round out storage for a full day out.
Wearing and Caring For Amphibian Shorts
Because these shorts use a water-repellent hydrophobic coating rather than a laminate, rinse them in fresh water after time in salt water or chlorine to help the coating and stretch fabric hold up over time. Wash cold, use the zip fly and button closure as intended, and avoid high heat drying to protect the coating.
Quiksilver's Surf Roots
Quiksilver builds its clothing line around long days on the beach watching the surf roll in with friends, and that same laid back approach carries into technical pieces like these amphibian shorts, built for the hardcore surfer's pursuits.
