Built to Go From Water to Land Without Missing a Beat
The Quiksilver Union Transit Short is engineered for the amphibious lifestyle: built tough enough for the water, refined enough to wear the rest of the day. A mini ripstop nylon construction resists abrasion and quick-dries with ease, while 13% elastane works through the fabric to deliver real stretch mobility in every direction. The result is a hybrid walkshort that moves as freely as a boardshort but looks the part on dry land.
At 18.5 inches outseam, the Union Transit sits at a versatile length that works in the surf, on the dock, and everywhere the day takes you after. The regular fit keeps things clean without restricting movement, and the fixed waistband holds its shape session after session.

Water-to-Land Performance
Quiksilver's amphibian shorts philosophy is built into the Union Transit from the fabric up. The nylon-elastane blend dries fast after a session and resists the kind of stretch-out and wear that pure cotton alternatives suffer through with repeated exposure to salt, sun, and chlorine. Whether you are paddling out, running errands, or sitting down for lunch, the short holds its structure and comfort throughout the day.
Construction Details
The mini ripstop weave distributes stress across the fabric grid, so the short holds up under the repeated flexion of active use without thinning or tearing at stress points. The zip back pocket closes securely so your essentials stay put in the water and out of it. The fixed waist provides a stable, non-adjustable fit that keeps the short sitting correctly without bunching or slipping under a wetsuit or rash guard.
