In hot, steamy weather, the last thing you want is hot, steamy shorts. Which is exactly why we created the new Patagonia Tropical Flats Shorts. These are the lightest, most comfortable tropical shorts we've ever made. A cool, airy 3-oz nylon/spandex blend dries quickly, floats over the skin, and provides 30-UPF sun protection. For even greater ventilation, the unique pocket snap system holds the pocket bag open to catch cooling breezes. Mesh drainage ensures you won't carry half the ocean in your pockets when you get out of the water. Ideal for all warm-weather fishing, hiking or camping. And because the shorts practically disappear when folded or rolled up, they're perfect for travel. Inseam (size M) is 10. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Patagonia Tropical Flats Shorts is available through Altrec.com.

The fit around the waste is big and they don't really have a natural fit but the drawstrings help. The design to keep the front pockets open works well for airflow but the back pocket is small and makes a wallet feel bulky. The material is super lightweight.
