Hemp blended stretch with a DWR finish
These shorts are built from a hemp blended 4-way stretch fabric with a DWR fabric finish, made from a composition of 49% recycled polyester, 35% polyester, 8% hemp, and 8% elastane. They include sideseam pockets and a back patch pocket, with a 16 inch outseam elastic waist and a 6 inch inseam.
Made for beach days and easy movement
An elastic waist short like this one is built to pull on and go, whether you are headed to the beach, out on a boat, or just relaxing after time on the water. The hemp blend stretch fabric and DWR finish give it everyday versatility, while the sideseam and back patch pockets provide a place for small essentials.
How to care for them
The source data for this listing does not include specific wash instructions for this exact style. Given the hemp blend fabric and DWR finish shared with the rest of the Shorey Series, a gentle wash and air dry approach is generally the safer way to protect the fabric finish; check the garment's own care label before washing.
The Roark story behind the Shorey Series
Roark is a revival of bold adventurism told through the eyes of an idealized traveling figure, spanning tees, outerwear, bottoms, and accessories. The Shorey Series represents the brand's relaxed, elastic waist approach to the boardshort, meant to give you room to seek and explore rather than a tight competitive fit.
