Quiksilver Waterman Chino Shorts Built for Life Near the Water
The Secret Ocean 20" Chino Short is part of Quiksilver's Waterman collection, a line built for men who live close to the ocean and need clothing that keeps up. These are chino shorts done right: a stretch cotton blend twill that moves with you, an enzyme wash for broken-in softness straight out of the bag, and a clean silhouette that works from the dock to dinner.
Fabric and Construction
The fabric is a stretch cotton blend twill at 97% Cotton and 3% Elastane. That small percentage of elastane is the difference between a chino that fights you and one you forget you're wearing. The twill weave adds durability and a refined surface texture, while the enzyme wash with softener ensures the fabric feels lived-in from day one without looking worn out.
Fit and Features
The Secret Ocean wears in a classic, comfortable regular fit with a 20-inch outseam, giving you coverage that sits above the knee without running long. Key construction details:
- Button fly with set-on waistband for a clean front profile
- Printed pocketing on the interior for a smooth exterior look
- Button closure back pockets
The regular fit means there is real room through the seat and thigh, nothing restrictive, and the stretch fabric means natural movement whether you are paddling out, hiking a trail, or heading to a waterfront restaurant.
The Waterman Collection
Quiksilver built the Waterman collection for a specific kind of person: someone who spends genuine time on or near the water and wants clothing that reflects that without broadcasting it. The Secret Ocean Chino Short carries that ethos in a straightforward package. No flashy graphics, no gimmicks. Just well-made chino shorts for men who know what they want.
Care
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The enzyme finish is durable through repeated washing. Avoid high heat to preserve the stretch and fabric hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the outseam length on the Secret Ocean Chino Short?
- The Secret Ocean Chino Short has a 20-inch outseam, which places the hem above the knee for a classic chino length that works both on and off the water.
- What fabric are the Quiksilver Waterman chino shorts made from?
- They are made from a stretch cotton blend twill, 97% Cotton and 3% Elastane. The elastane provides flexibility and ease of movement while the cotton twill delivers durability and a clean surface finish.
- What is the Quiksilver Waterman collection?
- The Waterman collection is Quiksilver's line designed for men who spend real time on or near the water. It focuses on versatile, well-constructed pieces that move from outdoor activity to everyday wear without compromise.
- Are these chino shorts comfortable for all-day wear?
- Yes. The classic regular fit, enzyme-washed fabric, and stretch twill construction make them well suited for extended wear. The enzyme wash softens the cotton from the start, so they feel broken in immediately.
- How do I care for the Quiksilver Secret Ocean Chino Shorts?
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, which can degrade the elastane content and affect the fabric softness over time.
- What is the difference between Quiksilver chino shorts and boardshorts?
- Chino shorts like the Secret Ocean are made from cotton twill with a button fly and structured waistband, giving them a versatile look suited for both casual and semi-casual settings. Boardshorts are typically made from quick-dry synthetic fabric with a drawstring and are designed primarily for water use. The Secret Ocean bridges both worlds with stretch fabric and a clean silhouette.
