Why We Like the Backcast III 8in Water Short

For days spent in and out of the water by the river or at the swimming hole, the Backcast III 8in Water Short is our go-to for quick-drying performance and cool comfort. And because its designed to look like more like regular short than swimwear, we'll also sport these on summer hikes or relaxed trips into town.

Great shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shorts because I already had them, but I grew out of them.😊 After many years of use, they have not deteriorated, they just became small. I hope it will be the same with these shorts.
