RVCA Balance Hybrid Short for On the Water and Off
The RVCA Balance Hybrid Short is built as one of RVCA's do-everything hybrid shorts, cut from a 4-way stretch fabric blend with a durable water-resistant DWR finish so you can move from paddleboarding to running errands without a wardrobe change. At a 20 inch outseam, it sits in a regular fit that layers easily over boardshorts or worn on its own.
Fabric and Construction
- 4-way stretch polyester blend with a DWR (durable water-resistant) coating
- Fabric composition: 78% polyester, 13% cotton, 9% elastane
- Silicone hybrid button at the center front with a fly closure
- Back left pocket with a reverse coil zip for secure storage
- Back right welt pocket with pull tabs
- Regular fit, 20 inch outseam
Who It's For
This hybrid short is made for the shopper who wants one pair of shorts to cover the whole day, a morning surf check, a boat ride out of a South Florida inlet, or a walk to grab lunch afterward. The water-resistant finish means light splashes and spray bead off rather than soaking in, while the 4-way stretch keeps the fit comfortable through paddling, bending, and normal daily movement. The zippered back pocket is a practical spot for keys or a phone when you are near the water and don't want to worry about a loose pocket.
Wear, Care, and Break-In
Because the fabric blend includes cotton and elastane along with the polyester, treat these more like a technical short than a swim trunk, they are meant to dry quickly after a splash but are not designed to be worn submerged like true boardshorts. Machine wash according to the RVCA care label and avoid high heat drying, which can degrade the DWR coating over time and the elastane stretch. Zip the coil pocket closed when not in use to keep the zipper track free of sand.
