Patagonia M’s Wavefarer Board shorts have been around for a while. The Wavefarer II is made of a durable water repellant treated nylon that wears light and dries fast. Furthermore the material is actually recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

The board shorts are of the flat-lying, single-buttes gusseted variety with a self-draining side-zip pocket with key loop. They sit low rise and slightly below the knee and suitable for surfing, paddling, rafting or just kicking around the house this summer.

Available in 14 different patters and colors though take our recommendation and skip the floral patterns unless you live in an area within 10 miles of the beach.

Cost: $50 @ Patagonia
