Description
Light, airy and packed with stretch, our Breeze Collection delivers performance-level comfort and casual, everyday style. The Breeze Short has been a bestseller ever since we first designed it almost 10 years ago, thanks to a featherweight feel and quick-dry construction.
The stretch-infused fabric and drawstring waist make them comfy weekend go-to's for anything active… or lazy. We like a mix of both, so no judgment here.

Features
- Featherweight Breeze fabric. Free Fly's bestselling ultra-light stretch woven feels airy and barely there, even on the hottest days.

- Quick-dry construction. Sheds sweat and dries fast, keeping you comfortable from workout to hangout.

Their bamboo-based fabrics are buttery soft and built for comfort from sunrise paddle to sunset hang.
