The Patagonia Men's Hydropeak Volley Shorts (86435) are versatile performance shorts designed for men who transition seamlessly between surfing sessions, swimming laps, and casual everyday activities. These shorts feature a lightweight, quick-drying recycled polyester fabric with a durable water repellent finish that sheds moisture and resists saturation, keeping you comfortable in and out of the water. The 16-inch outseam provides modest coverage above the knee while allowing unrestricted movement for paddling, running, or lounging. An elastic waistband with a functional drawcord ensures a secure, adjustable fit during active water sports, while the built-in mesh liner offers support and breathability. The Tidepool Blue colorway delivers a clean, aquatic-inspired aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with rash guards or casual tees. Fair Trade Certified sewn construction reflects Patagonia's commitment to ethical manufacturing practices.
