Just the right durability in the nylon to make it move with you and drape just right. Breathable but with a capable water and stain resistant finish and with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 40+.

Ultraviolet Protection Factor gauges a fabric's effectiveness at filtering both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) light. In everyday terms, a rating of UPF 40+ means the fabric allows less than 2.5% UV transmission. UPF-rated clothing enhances protection against UV-related health risks.

The day after they arrived in the mail I took them on a four night surf camping trip to Jalama (hour north of Santa Barbara). Unless I was in my suit or my trunks I was in these shorts and they were absolutely outstanding. Beyond comfortable for hiking, lounging and cooking around the campfire, playing beach volleyball, whatever. Love the included shoestring belt. Outstanding pockets. And the color completed the look. Love the cut and how stretchy yet sturdy the material is. They really do feel extremely durable for how comfortable they are. Had a few 5-6 hour drives to and from the Bay Area to get down there and these proved to be some excellent road trip shorts as well. Many more trips coming up this summer/fall and these are coming with me wherever I go. Off to Big Sur this weekend!
