Patagonia Men’s Wavefarer® Hybrid Walk Shorts – 18″ Inseam in Tidepool Blue

Meet the Men’s Wavefarer® Hybrid Walk Shorts – 18" Inseam in Tidepool Blue by Patagonia—amphibious shorts made for travelers and surfers who want one pair that does it all. Tidepool Blue brings coastal energy to a clean, everyday silhouette.

Key Features: With an 18" outseam, the Wavefarer Hybrid Walk Shorts land above the knee for an easy stride. They feature on-seam front pockets, a rear pocket with drainage and key loop, and a partially elastic waistband with drawcord so you can pull them on and head straight for the water.

Fabric & Feel: These hybrid shorts are crafted from quick-drying recycled nylon with a touch of stretch and a durable water-repellent finish, so they handle both surf and city showers. The fabric is light yet hardy enough for hiking, scrambling, or multiple wears between washes on the road.

Why It’s Good: High recycled nylon content—including NetPlus® fiber made from reclaimed fishing nets in newer iterations—helps reduce ocean-bound plastic. Versatile pieces like the Men’s Wavefarer Hybrid Walk Shorts – 18" in Tidepool Blue by Patagonia let you pack less, own fewer single-purpose garments, and maximize wears per piece.

Fit & Care: Regular fit through hip and thigh. Choose your usual size; use the drawcord to cinch them in the surf. Rinse after seawater, machine wash cold, and either tumble dry low or hang dry to maintain performance and color. Pair them with a tee and sandals in town, then swap to a rashguard and you’re lineup-ready.
