Brinco 7" Short - Solid - Men's

About this find

The Brinco 7" Short is a men's short built for hiking, bouldering, swimming and relaxing around the campfire. It has an unmistakably retro look, with a colour-pop detail on the side seam. The 7-inch inseam is the longer of two lengths, and the same style also comes in a 5-inch inseam and in a women's version.

The fabric is 96% recycled nylon and 4% spandex (151gsm), with UPF 50+ protection and a wicking finish. That makes it a sensible pick for sunny days on the trail or by the water. The regular fit leaves room to move, and a hem slit adds extra mobility for steps and scrambles.

The waistband is encased elastic with a non-stretch drawcord, so you can set the fit with the cord. There are drop-in hand pockets for small items, plus a snap back pocket with a drain hole that lets water out after a swim. A built-in mesh brief is sewn right in, so no separate liner is needed.

The retro styling and bright side-seam detail give these shorts personality without any fuss. Because the brief is built in, they work well for a swim that turns into a hike. Our practical tip: close the snap back pocket before you head into the water so your small items stay put.
