Patagonia Men’s Wavefarer® Boardshorts – 19″ Inseam in Ink Black

Meet the Patagonia Men’s Wavefarer® Boardshorts – 19" Inseam in Ink Black—classic surf trunks built to handle everything from beach days to travel days. In timeless Ink Black, they’re the pair you can throw on with anything and trust in the water or on land.

Key Features: These Wavefarer boardshorts feature a 19" outseam, a contoured waistband with a secure drawcord, and a self-draining side pocket with a key loop. The fit is streamlined but easy to move in, with just enough room through the thigh for paddling, swimming, and casual wear.

Fabric & Feel: The Patagonia Men’s Wavefarer Boardshorts in Ink Black are made from quick-drying NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon faille, sourced from discarded fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution. A PFC-free DWR finish sheds light spray, while the lightweight, slightly textured fabric feels sturdy yet comfortable against the skin.

Why It’s Good: NetPlus® fabric turns a waste stream—abandoned fishing nets—into durable boardshorts, helping to keep plastic out of the ocean. The shorts are also sewn in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, so a premium from each pair goes back to the people who made them. By choosing one pair of versatile, repairable trunks instead of cycling through fast-fashion boardshorts, you cut your wardrobe’s footprint and get gear that actually lasts.

Fit & Care: Cut for a regular, performance-ready fit that sits at the waist. Take your usual size; if you’re between sizes or prefer a looser, surf-style fit, size up. Rinse after saltwater sessions, then machine wash cold and line dry to extend the life of the fabric and finish.

Style Notes: Wear the Patagonia Wavefarer® Boardshorts in Ink Black with a simple tee and slides to the beach, or pair them with a linen shirt and sandals when you’re heading straight from the shoreline to dinner.
