CONSTRUCTION

How board shorts are put together and why it matters.

WELDED

Welded seams are used in lieu of a standard, sewn stitch. These seams are fused together via heat, creating a surface that’s flush with the skin to reduce chafing.

STITCHED

Just like it sounds, the stitched construction will show a stitch visible to the naked eye. For this construction, a flatlock stitch is used for durability and to create a flush surface with the skin.

EZ FLY

Our patented, Velcro®-less closure system. Utilizing soft,
stretchy fabric in lieu of Velcro®, the EZ Fly closure eliminates the possibility of chafing.

DWR

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a coating placed on all Hurley board shorts. This flouropolymer-based coating, typically found on waterproof rainwear, repels water so your board shorts stay light and dry quickly.

SIZING

Most Hurley Men’s board shorts feature a fixed waistband for the best fit. This means your board short size will be the same as your pant size.
