Meet the Men’s Hydrolock Stitched Boardshorts – 18" Inseam in Nouveau Green by Patagonia—high-performance surf trunks built for big days in the water. With a streamlined, stitch-free front and contoured waistband, they’re made to stay put through duck-dives, drop-ins, and long paddle-outs.
Key Features: These boardshorts feature an 18" outseam for just-right coverage, a locking waistband with textured drawcord that resists slipping, and a low-profile, self-draining thigh pocket with zip and key loop so essentials stay secure without adding drag. Welded seams in high-friction zones help reduce chafing session after session.
Fabric & Feel: The Men’s Hydrolock Stitched Boardshorts use a lightweight four-way-stretch fabric made with mostly recycled polyester plus spandex for recovery. The quick-drying plain weave sheds water fast, while a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS helps them dry between sets.
Why It’s Good: High recycled polyester content means less reliance on virgin petroleum, and Patagonia makes these in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, supporting safer working conditions and additional premiums for workers. Long-lasting, surf-ready trunks you’ll wear for years beat the cycle of disposable boardshorts that lose shape after one season.
Fit & Care: Cut with a slim, surf-specific fit through the hip and thigh. Choose your usual waist size for a secure, athletic fit; size up if you prefer a bit more room. Rinse after salt or chlorine, machine wash cold, and line dry to protect the fabric and water-repellent finish. Style the Patagonia Hydrolock Stitched Boardshorts – 18" in Nouveau Green with a rashguard or sun hoodie when you’re logging long days in strong sun.
