Patagonia Mens Guidewater Shorts Retro Khaki (Autumn 2013)

Everything we love about the Guidewater Pants, and less. The shorts version has all the same water-specific features, including a zippered side-leg pocket, mesh drainage on all pockets and a remarkably fast dry time that make these the fishing shorts of choice for anglers. And, like the pants, the comfortable fit, zippered fly and constructed waist with stretch sections and belt loops make the Guidewater Shorts ideal for pretty much any activity. Which is to say, you may find yourself wearing 'em everywhere - we do. Made from lightweight, recyclable, woven nylon fabric with DWR (durable water repellent) finish and 50+ UPF sun protection.
